We grew up with birds and bees
I made it through my last day of Arisia on an hour and a half of sleep. Both panels, I think, went well. "Non-Genre Books that Genre Fans Love" turned into an interrogation of the concept of "genre"; based on audience response, "The Wonderful Panel of Oz" could have gone on another hour and involved everyone in the room. I lingered with ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
ladymondegreen and genarti and then caught the trains back. derspatchel's father and stepmother were visiting from western Massachusetts; we went to dinner with them at Out of the Blue, where I had many clams and some cannoli. It was really nice. We hadn't seen them since our wedding. Apparently the cats were conspicuously cute all afternoon.
Over the weekend, my contributor's copy of The Long and the Short and the Tall arrived, containing my flash "I Love You Like a Mountain" and my poem "The Crane Husband." The first is about a geological phenomenon with boundary issues and is named after the song; the second is a retelling and was not written while listening to the Decemberists.
My flash "And Black Unfathomable Lakes" (Not One of Us #50) has been accepted for reprint by Joanne Merriam for The Museum of All Things Awesome and That Go Boom. It's a tribute to Peter Cushing. Also Yvonne Monlaur.
Someone at my last panel had a T-shirt reading "Alan Turing Fought Nazis with Science." I couldn't find them afterward to compliment them, but it is entirely true.

That is excellent. I'm very sorry I missed it, but the flesh was done with everything, and still had a two hour drive back to Connecticut. DP and I saw Force Majeur last night. It's Swedish, it's kind of a comedy by Swedish standards (which is to say, sometimes you have to laugh or else you're going to cry) and it is absolutely worth your time. Brilliantly shot.
You also seem to be on fire with things in places, and I approve.
"Alan Turing Fought Nazis with Science."
That's pretty much the best epitaph ever.
