Kathy and I have been spending the weekend in Atlanta at GAFilk, seeing old friends and treasured acquaintances like Dave Clement, Cat Faber, Amy McNally, and Kathleen Sloan. The music has been wonderful, as usual, though the hotel is cold in odd places (Atlanta is NOT supposed to be this cold, even in January) and there is a threat of an ice storm starting this afternoon to make travel that much more interesting (I am so glad I flew down here).
On a sad note, Randy (whose last name escapes me) came in from Pennsylvania and had to report that Ann Cecil, a friend from my days in CAPAcity many years ago, has been battling cancer, and is moving into hospice care this weekend. We don't know how much longer she has, but all positive thoughts go her way from me, at least. There were also 4 other former CAPAcitans here at the con (Kathy, Naomi Pardue, Lee Billings, and Clark Wierda), and I sent word to Jim Rittenhouse and Teresa Tucker, as well. We all wish Ann well, and hope for any positive change.
fannish,
filk,
friends
