Progressive Retreat

kinzelAll plans are not going forward at the same speed... in a bilateral world this means that you end up in a spin... or at least *I* end up in a spin. Your mileage may vary
In the last week we: got the AMTRAK train tickets for part of our trip to PenguiCon, packed books, checked in with several publishers on several topics, not all or which are clear yet, watched Howl's Moving Castle, and ate healthy all week. Go us! Even today's pancakes were made with organic whole-wheat pancake mix with added organic oat bran and were served with locally produced organic grade B (that's way smokey-dark!) maple syrup. When's lunch?
OK, the US pre-orders for Crystal Dragon are *all* out of house. Some of them needed, alas, to make a trip back down to Georgia because of technical shipping problems, but they are signed and no longer here. If you ordered your book direct from MM at Boskone you'll want to c heck with them if books do not arrive within a week or so.
The remaining overseas Crystal Dragon orders may all well get to the PO by Tuesday; we have to sign the books in the "reserve" box to finish them, so we have signing today.
Over there in Second Life , Kit Jimenez has followed through, and the flag of Clan Korval may be found in several locations. If you're in SL and want a copy, please apply to Kit. One may be found flying over the Friends of Liad park at all hours. There are also a couple books of snippets to look at in the park.
Over here in the RL East Winslow/Foss Hill weather-maker-region, the wind is blowing darn hard right now; my neighbor running a bulldozer through his woods has to watch out for the trees he's knocking over on purpose and the branches that are coming down of their own accord. The chickens have crossed his driveway to pick at his parents lawn, but if they cross the road to come after my wildflowers they will be extremely unwelcome.
As time and connections permit, the Calamity's Child pdf proof goes out today...
Yes, it is true. Web of the Trident has slipped a bit. See -- having life, above.

2006-04-02 12:40 (UTC)We travel coast-to-coast on amtrak; I think we've got 50,000 miles of non-commute train travel in the last decade or so...still we haven't hit all the spots.
Let me think about this and make it a main post....

2006-04-04 05:36 (UTC)Did I mention the showers? You can take a shower on the train when you travel first class, and though the water pressure isn't great the comfort level can be high...
Be aware that the last part of trip -- the part to Maine -- requires you to leave South Station via cab or local transit, get to North Station, and wait in a commuter train envirmnment to make your connection. In really cold weather it gets really cold at North Station....on the other hand the Downeaster's business class is right comfortable.
