What a coinink-idink, I was going through all of my old cookbooks I'm tossing out (think the library will take them?) while the random option on iTunes kept playing filk pirate songs _and_ Twelve Days of Star Wars. You think it was telling me to attend more cons?

Depending on what the cookbooks are, I might be willing to pay the postage for you to ship them to me. Can I get a list somehow?

anyone interested can email me at palalt(at)mac.com and I'll send you a list. I've learned all I can from these books and want to share them with others.

Tom I had a great time this weekend, in no small part thanks to you! Life's continued to be rough for me, and the laughs your music gave me were badly needed ( ... )

So glad you had fun this weekend, m'friend. Have you got a web page of your homemade game sets? I'd love to see some of your chess pieces.

I have a photobucket album. It does not show all my work yet as I've neglected updating it in a long while (plus the fact that several chess sets got made without photos being taken, which compounds the visual loss). But the album does show a few sets and also shows the *variety* of games I am able to make (which has also since been expanded).

The address is: tinyurl.com/periodgames

One small correction -- I didn't take the Workmanship award, that went to "Element of Fire." I got Best in Class, Master Level. If anyone's interested, you can see some of the pix we took this summer at http://s4.photobucket.com/albums/y115/MsLith/Tattergown/

Oops! I will fix that in a few minutes. Thanks, dear, and as well for your many kindnesses this past weekend. See you at Thanksgiving!

I went to a nice panel this morning about tech and fandom. Only panelist showed up, but that's OK. We talked a bit about convention websites, a virtual convention which happened that weekend, the advantages and disadvantages of being connected all the time (and how we should be more patient for people to respond to our emails ( ... )

I did indeed make it back safely, in my best time ever: just about four hours door-to-door, no stops, construction, or nothin'. Didn't even turn on the computer: Bathroom, bed, boom ( ... )

I think a rock version of "A Boy and His Frog" would be, shall we say, in poor taste, and leave it at that. And I don't mean your usual fun variety of poor taste, either.

I will say this, however: your LJ avatar with the flashing "doctors" on it suddenly has me hearing it to the tune of "Bad Horse." "Doc-TOR, DOC-tor, Doctor Doctor DOCTOR!" Might I suggest running with that? You have a far better command of the Bad Horse tune than I do.
