Hiya! Glad to hear your health has improved. I hope to see you at Sasquan - I signed up for the Patreon too! ;)

Sasquan indeed! And thanks for signing up! I should have the first song by the weekend.

Hey Tom

Glad you are still kicking. Glad to have an update. I am on fb. I liked your page and followed you some years ago and I don't think I have ever seen anything from you cross my feed. fb sucks!

I got diagnosed with diabetes in 2014 too.

Looking forward to hearing more of your music.

Peter

Hey, Peter! Yeah, Facebook has this odd notion that you don't want or have to see anything by your, y'know, ACTUAL FRIENDS. Frustrating. Good luck with the diabetes -- it's a pain, but it's manageable, I promise!

Good to hear from you. Sorry to hear about the hospital stay, but great to hear about the progress.

It's been an interesting 2015 so far. Much heavier work travel schedule than the past few years. On the bright side, one of those trips resulted in my being able to make Conflikt and two others were to places that were MUCH warmer than the DC area was at the time.

In the midst of Balticon planning. We have catalana as our Music GOH, plus decadentdave, Cheshire Moon and Sassafrass on the bill. And papersky as the Author GOH. Should be a great con!

There are other things going on that I don't want to blather about on a social network. But they are good things.

Good things are good. Didn't I see and even hug you and Sheryl at ChessieCon?

gorgeousgary March 22 2015, 18:33:46 UTC

You did indeed. Chessie's in our home state, which makes it fairly easy to get to. We should be back in November.

I keep up with you on FB.

But I like LJ better.

I have a con this weekend (MidSouth in Memphis) And one in 2 weeks (Frolic in Atlanta) And in between, i have a woodworking project to do and a novel to finish editing.

Sounds good. Be save, have fun, and keep warm thoughts -- I want winter to be the heck over!

Very glad you're doing better!
