Just a quick note, since it's been a long time since I've posted anything.

Since last time, Laura and I have found a new apartment in our same neighborhood. We don't have to move until January, so the stress of apartment-hunting is gone. Only the stress of the actual moving remains, but we have plenty of time to pack.

bobhowe and I had a fun weekend late in October in Boston, where we went for a mini-reunion with some of our fellow students from Clarion '85. Joe and Gay Haldeman, our second-week instructors, were on hand for the first day of reunioning as well, and a great time was had by all.

Laura and I spent a long weekend (just past) in Madison, Wisconsin, for the World Fantasy Convention. Lovely, lovely time with good panel, good food and drink, and good friends old (Jeff Ford, Mark Rich, et.al.) and new (Hal Duncan, et.al.). And, again, drinks with Joe and Gay.

And happiest of all to report, I'm listening to the brand-new Kate Bush album, Aerial, and I'm happy to report that it's easily her best since Hounds of Love. As it bloody well should be, after 12 years of silence. Harumph!
