Not mine...Bryan's.  It was an incredible experience and well worth sharing here.  Things got rolling a few weeks earlier deciding to have a geek friends gathering for gaming and everything just sort of grew up around that.

Part of a letter:

A brief review, this year for me was a mess of physical travel, unsettling messing up of my entire life structure. It was wholly atypical but perhaps that in itself could be typical. I went to Hawaii and Alaska, I ended a passionate but destructive relationship, I started a leadership program to help others not have to break the ( Read more... )

DCS and I awoke all too early for my face slapping class.  We were going full tech this time to incorporate videos which really is a good idea and I'll need to clean that up and make it even simpler for the future.  Plus I need to make sure the whole title gets in there because too many people come in thinking it's a "how to" class.  While there ( Read more... )

Overall impression:  Smaller and less formal than I remember and was hoping for, I recognized at least 60% of the people there even though only a handful recognized me which is a new signal of how much I've changed and how closed off I used to be.  But the solid "big event" sense was in the house and it was good to be there to experience it.

Working up to this weekend event, I got angsty.  I admit I worked myself up, I was at the end of a string of events I had some participation in and realizing the frustration with people who don't GET the work that goes into this mixed with the pride of being able to see it, get it, and do it pretty darn efficiently was all worked up in there.  ( Read more... )

So on the 11th day, she blogged. Sorry Elkor, this is about death, relationship, and job crap.  This is long and it contains at least four stories, but I prefer to wind through chronologically as it was experienced rather than try to tease out different themes.
