That’s right, we don’t yet have internet at the apartment. We get it next Friday, you know, while I’m away at Readercon. Until then, postings will be somewhat sporadic I’m afraid. We spent yesterday cleaning and unpacking. The bedroom is assembled and has no boxes. Yay! Rob has disassembled the stove and is deep cleaning
I’m headed to Readercon next weekend and just got my schedule. Friday 1:30 PM. Reading (30 min.) Mary Robinette Kowal reads “Body Language.” Friday 4:00 PM. Talk / Discussion ( 60 min.) Remember to Breathe: The Secrets Behind Great Public Readings. You may be a good writer, but reading aloud is a separate skill. Learn

We got everything loaded in to the apartment. There were a number of surprises waiting for us once we got in, but we managed to work around them. After we got the truck unloaded, we had celebratory gin and tonics–yes, we travelled with all the acoutrements necessary. We have a lot of unpacking to do,
John got up to see us off this morning at the ungodly hour of 5:30. He sent us with some of the corn from last night–I’d realized at dinner last night that it might well be two years since I had fresh corn on the cob. The stuff in Iceland, in addition to being shipped
First of all, I have to say that Brad and his wife, Joanne, are fantastic hosts. Brad made an amazing meal, including a handmade spinach, prosciutto raviolli, a wonderful mixed vegetable dish with a vinegrette marinade and quite possibly the most elegant sandwich I have experienced–to say that it was a ham and cheese does

We have safely arrived at the home of Brad Beaulieu in our first ever early arrival. We were figuring to get here around seven tonight and arrived at five instead. As soon as we got out of Minnesota, we cleared the road construction and it was fast going. I’m looking forward to a very pleasant

Once on Prarie Home Companion, Garrison Keilor said that Minnesota had two seasons, Winter and Road Construction. We are clearly in the latter. We left on time but are moving over level ground as if the van is struggling up a hill. While, Rob is filling the truck up with the $100 of diesel that

We spent today hanging out with Kevin and Shawna. Actually, we started the day by sleeping until almost noon. Only ten minutes remained of the morning when we got up. Shawna had pancakes for us. Rob and Kevin pulled our bikes out of the truck today (they were on top) and we biked along the

We arrived in Avon at around 8:00 local time. Rob’s brother, Kevin and his wife Shawna greeted us. We have been plied with wine and Shawna’s delicious cooking. I took a shower and feel much more human. The cats are ensconced in our room. They seem have settled into the routine nicely. Maggie tends to

Lord of All Fools » Archive » Review of Prime Codex Rampion–Mary Robinette Kowal This is another twist up of a fairy tale. Rampion is the prequel to Rapunzel, and concerns itself with how the “barren†mother really got pregnant. Mary Robinette Kowal’s got a good thing here. It’s a short-short story; maybe three pages,

I’ve already slipped into “tour time” where time is told not by the clock or calendar but by location. Everything has become, “the other day when we were in…” So, I added photos that we took the other day to the web album. Move To NYC, Day Two
We are at a gas station in Peever, S.D getting ready to cross into Minnesota. It is 5:06 pm local time. I promised to tell you about our misadventures from yesterday, so this is what I wrote up while we were driving. It was dark when we crossed into South Dakota. One of the interesting

We got into the KOA near Mt. Rushmore very late last night. There is a story, but I’ll have to tell it later. We need to hit the road now.
