gnomiIt's been a while since I did any sort of update here, so here's what I've been up to:
-- MAB and I went to Readercon last weekend and had a good time. He did the Guest of Honor interview of GOH Hal Clement (Mission of Gravity, among others) as well as being on a number of panels. We saw a bunch of friends (includingfarwing, who we later kidnapped to see "League of Extraordinary Gentlemen") and got a chance to meet some writers we hadn't previously. A good time was had, and I learned something very important: "You can't get roast beef in the stratosphere!"
-- I have discovered that it is virtually impossible to purchase skirts with pockets (they're even selling jeans skirts without pockets, which I consider a crime agaist denim). So maybe I'll have to make myself some more skirts with pockets.
-- On the sewing front, I have discovered a distinct lack of options for clothing for an upcoming wedding MAB and I are going to. So I've decided to make myself Yet Another Dress. This one will be a sheath dress with a jacket, and I hope it will prove as versatile as I believe it will be. Now all I have to do is figure out fabric for it.
-- On 23 July, our nephew turns 5. It's hard to reconcile the inquisitive boy he is now with the tiny baby he was at Bucconeer in 1998.
-- Off to NYC on Sunday for a week. I'll try to update here during the week.
