Quick update

Ended up watching TV for much of Monday, something I rarely do but it was about right for my level of brain activity. Mostly the first few episodes of season 2 of Will & Grace (which so far seems to me a lot more mean-spirited and a lot less funny than season 1), and the last few episodes of season 1 of Six Feet Under. Episode 12 of Six Feet Under, "A Private Life," was extraordinarily good and extremely intense, though I don't know if it would work as well without the previous eleven episodes as buildup.

Was feeling mostly better by Tuesday morning, so I went to work. Slowly beginning to tell co-workers I'm leaving. On the way to and from work, finally got back to doing some line-editing for upcoming stories; that's been on hold for a while.

In unrelated news, I seem to have neglected to mention that I am in fact going to attend World Fantasy this year. I'll be arriving relatively late Friday evening (29 October) and heading home on Sunday evening. I see that Daylight Saving Time ends that Sunday, but it's not observed in Arizona (except in the Navajo Nation), so that won't affect the timing of the convention activities. But it does mean that I'll be flying out of Pacific Daylight Time, into Mountain Standard Time, and then back to Pacific Standard Time. Complicated.

In other unrelated news, Elizabeth Bear's birthday is today; she notes, btw, that by Shire Reckoning, it's also Frodo's and Bilbo's birthday, though a Tolkien FAQ entry suggests that the modern date for that should be more like September 12.

    How late Friday evening? And what do you want us to be sure the Zeppelin party hasn’t run out of by the time you get in?

    Hadn’t realized the zeppelin party was that night. My flight arrives just before 7 p.m. local time (assuming it’s not late); I’m guessing it’ll take me another half-hour to get to the hotel, so I expect I’ll be around and available sometime between 7:30 and 8, if all goes well.
