6/7/08: We're off

(But then you knew that.)

Kate left for Mexico on Friday, for two weeks of Spanish language immersion. I'm leaving for New Mexico bright and early tomorrow, for two weeks of Taos Toolbox writing workshop with Walter Jon Williams, Kelly Link, and Stephen R. Donaldson. Whee!

Today was JayCon, celebrating jaylake's birthday and triumph over cancer, and many were the barks and giggles. In kenscholes's absence, newroticgirl and I (and one other person whose name I didn't catch) read Jay Lake stories of our own. ( Mine is under the cut... )
