The trip to Balticon put 1557 miles on the Subaru's odometer and ran quite a few gallons of gas through the gas tank ...and after all that I didn't even win with the PowerBall tickets I bought there! ...

I did a visit with family, a visit with friends, and I had a great con people-wise. The dealers room part of the con was odd for me since Glennis of The Missing Volume was hosting my 3/4 of a table; I did the set-up and the refills and some signing but had more chance to get to panels (both as a participant and as observer) than I usually do when being a dealer. I *do* need to get an SRM Publisher banner or flag or something ....

I found the heat a bit much my first couple days back in the Baltizone; on the other hand the trip back was good, with rain and wind giving way after a few hours to a good overcast that made driving comfortable ... I missed my usual Perkins stop on the way home but i did manage one on the way down, so I guess that's a wash.

I have about three dozen business cards, bookmarks, scattered notes, and such as reminders of people I met/need to talk to/ need to respond to/ want to send things to/ and etc ... now if I can just get organized...

Having mixed a heavy drink in my fannish youth (when I couldn't get cranberry liqueur), I have forsaken grog/blog/Balticokes and the like these days in favor of Pinot Grigio, Sangiovese, or Sangria. On the other hand, I think (internet) blogs, cellphones, and netbooks are those brain extensions you were talking about...

How true about the various electronic extensions of ourselves that we all trail around so casually nowadays. Although I don't think most people consider them organs... maybe they should!
