Lots of Stuff
Mar. 3rd, 2004 07:32 pmLots of things happening these days...
More work on the Boundary outline -- but I'm waiting for some response from Eric before I can finish parts of it. He appears to be out of town at the moment.
Kathleen is looking for a new car -- something we promised we'd get when the money from my dad's estate finally arrived. We have lots of other projects planned too -- fixing the front yard to eliminate a nasssty swampy place, my preciouss, so our sons can play in the yard without getting icky, finishing the basement, putting in a garage/workshop to replace the ugly little shed out back, and probably central air/heat and weatherstripping all around. Then the place will be about as perfect as it can get.
My Ultra-Amber campaign is running along nicely, heading towards its second climax (of a total of 4 or 5 expected for the whole campaign).
We now have our hotel reserved for ICON 23. In a couple weeks I'm going to buy the tickets for Worldcon, which will be pricey, but worth it; I dunno when I'll get a chance to go to Worldcon again. I wonder if they still would like another minor author guest?

Swampy yards are always fun-- somehow I don't think your sons will thank you too much for removing the muck.
Yep...

Well, we'll see next week! Obviously I'll keep people posted!

Actually, Christopher probably will. It gets in his way for most of the kind of playing he'd like to do. He's actually interested in staying clean these days.!
I remember Sea Wasp back when Sea Wasp was RES836...

P.S.: I think that you can derive who this is -- but if it's not coming to you, write back and I'll divulge.

P.S.: I think I'll read here for a while -- and, incidentally, open my freshly-hatched (but long-since laid) journal up to you. ;-D It's a bit of a one-note thing right this minute, because I'm obsessed with one upcoming event in my life (that's the most important day for me since my wedding)... but that'll change after this weekend.
