Day 1599
I'm back from Libertycon- we actually got back 11 hours ago but I've slept most of that. I got up once to let the dogs out and back in, dose Honey, bring in Mom's paper and answer the 'phone but I went back to bed.
I got to catch up a little with a lot of old friends... and promised some one on one time to many to really catch up. Which is good but I'm still pretty depressed about the whole thing. I miss Dad a lot, there, and I miss being young and vital- I don't usually feel so old and frumpy anywhere else. And I miss talking about books- nobody talks about books any more.

Awesome back art!
More Steampunk
Dan Caldwell- sooo glad I got to see him!
No pictures of Huxter's Alley- it was a dreadful set-up although I think it was the best that could have been done with the space that we had- and obviously no pictures of the art show.
I'm not saying I didn't have a good time- I did. But there were several people I missed quite a lot- Dad, Ken Moore and Wilson Bob Tucker so there were moments when I felt a bit like this was a personal wake for me for them. I really didn't go through the Art show as carefully as I would have liked either- I still felt too responsible about keeping up with Emily.
We will be going back evry year unless something drastic happens that prevents us. This is more like a high school reunion than a high school reunion would be!
