Sunday talk

First on the agenda: happy birthday to [livejournal.com profile] autographedcat!

It's a lazy weekend. Fortunately I have a whole week of laziness to look forward to since I'm on vacation! My plans are still up in the air, though. I had been planning a county-hunting trip to Jacksonville, but there's a tropical depression forming off the Bahamas, and the forecast track takes it over -- wait for it -- Jacksonville! If the weather does not cooperate, I may head to the Hill Country. I haven't seen the Caverns of Sonora in ages, and I'm curious about the new 80 mph speed limit on I-10 west of Kerrville. That would be the fastest I've ever legally driven.

So, this weekend is Apollocon here in Houston. Got to hang with all my Browncoat friends: [livejournal.com profile] artcat81, [livejournal.com profile] amothea, [livejournal.com profile] chuckybones, [livejournal.com profile] endless_death, [livejournal.com profile] happyfishy80, [livejournal.com profile] perkyshai, [livejournal.com profile] redfeather1, [livejournal.com profile] ryvn, Val, [livejournal.com profile] wyrdfae, [livejournal.com profile] wyrdfaespoolboy, and the rest, some of whom I'm sure have LJs...

It was great seeing some of my Dallas friends: Tim (Fan Guest of Honor!), Mary, Iain, Ed, Robin, [livejournal.com profile] reudaly, Tamisan (Best in Show in the Masquerade!) and the rest. Sure wish more of you had made the trip.

I knew I was getting older when I read Tim's bio in the con program, in which [livejournal.com profile] rachelcaine described ORAC as a "venerable local Dallas-area SF club" (true)... and then realizing I helped found that club nearly 20 years ago! (Tim and I were discussing this, and he had the idea of marking that anniversary at next year's Fencon.)

The dryer has just buzzed, so warm jeans await!
