Progress

[kinzel]

yep...

progress of sorts today, and yesterday. Got my machine back yesterday, with directions to watch the room temperature and make sure the cats aren't sleeping against the fan air intake... witness the cat fur and dust removed from the case. Spent an hour or so getting rid of a couple gigabytes of old files; need to do more of that. I may just nuke Word Perfect entire...

I've been slowly moving stuff downstairs -- stuff that came back from DragonCon, that is -- and working on an Infodump which may be out soon. Along the way I've been answering individual email notes that came in from new readers -- nice to see that some of the folks at DragonCon have already read the new-to-them books!

Also spent some time watching the (1953?) production of Kiss Me Kate... part of Rolanni's birthday celebration. She swapped a shot at cake for apple pie this time -- apple pie with ice cream, no candles. The flick and ala mode followed a brunchly meal of leftover moogoogaipan (how many words is that, anyhow?) and dim sum. I note that LJ suggests McGowan, McGovern, magicking in place of moogoogaipan... and I'm not convinced.

And that's what's up, except that cat boxes need to be done, so I'll do them.

re: dim sum

Should you find yourself in the Baltimore/DC environs over a weekend and at loose ends, please ping jonsinger or me (lisajulie. There's a range of dim sum opportunities that we can explore.

Thanks and alas...

we missed a bet then, since we stopped (sort of) in the area to visit parents on the way back from DragonCon. Ended up at an Olive guests of Sharon's father...

Right now I'm not expecting to be back in the BaltWash region for some time, since scheduled writing and medical stuff ought to be keeping us close until we leave for Colorado Springs in January for our COSine GoH gig. You wouldn't happen to know any good dim sum places -- or Italian restuarants -- in COS? Or close to the train station in Chicago?

We hear there's a vague possibility of us visiting the BEA in DC.. that might haooen next May...

but we'll try to keep this offer in mind.

I had figured that you had familial obligations on one or the other of the trips.

But, now that you know that we exist, you can build possibilities into your plans.

I'm looking at my work situation and trying to convince myself that I'll be unemployed and thus able to attend COSine. I'll work harder at this.
