I love that second photo of you; are those con badges on your lapels? The necklace sounds gorgeous, as much to be tasted as seen and touched.

I'm glad that you're enjoying Readercon. Love the deathmatch poems (reading Nick Drake for the second, predictably!). I'd have liked to see the Le Guin panel - I'm about to read Tehanu for the first time.

Despite my best efforts, time isn't fast-forwarding to the release date of "Sleepless Shores". I'll just be here, scowling at the clock...
