I'm

"Aaaaaaaaack".

It's just a memory, alas.

Well, I got back late Tuesday
evening (9/2), and it took me most of yesterday just
to slog through the necessities of humdrum life. I
love those necessities and court their closeness.
Today, I'm opening up a bit of space and starting to
return to the unrealities of reading. I've got a lot
of backlog to get through; Serena has sent me her
insightful look at 'The Light Ages' (no link until I
post her review, you can find mine
here. Terry has sent me four, count 'em four book
reviews. Don't drink milk while reading them, unless
you want to spray your monitor. And I have interviews
with James Barclay, David Langford and John Clute;
wonderful entertaining gentlemen all. Alas, it will
take me a while to get them up on the site, as I'm
talking to Charles de Lint this evening. The whole
thrust of this is the traditional "Please Stand By".
Technicians are Working on the problem. I have the
Hugo finale and the "most exclusive party at the
convention" still to come. Apparently Charles Stross
made it home in fine fettle. Back to content
generation. This is a test. Had this been an actual
emergency, you would have been pacified with hopeful
messages encouraging you to spend your disposable
capital and drain any life's savings that you might
have hoped to pass on to your descendants.
