Next time I will try to remember that panels are not my only Orycon
program commitment. I was only on 6 panels, but in addition to
that I had a reading, a writers' workshop, auctioneering the Sue
Petrey Auction, and Opening Ceremonies (which included a runthrough
beforehand and the Endeavour Award ceremony -- congrats to
bjcooper!).
jaylake phoned while I was at
dinner on Saturday to ask if I could help out with Whose Line, but
I begged exhaustion. Orycon is my hometown con and I feel I owe them a
lot, but next year I think I need to tell Programming to schedule me on
only one panel-qua-panel per day to leave room for all that other stuff.
At the end of the con Kate was very low in energy and we left early. Lise is staying with us for a few days post-con, and we took her around for some touristing in Portland today, but Kate was pretty draggy all morning and after we got back from lunch she threw up and went to bed. She's been sick as a dog all afternoon, poor thing. I hope that our Thanksgiving plans will not be affected, but she's really out of it. Neither Lise nor I is affected, at least not yet.
