Highlights:
- I'm back and recovered from Farpoint. Had a great time. Programming at Farpoint just continues to improve every year. Interesting topics, polite and well-informed panelists, audiences with interesting things to say and kwillingness to engage, and a general level of respect from everyone, especially with different opinions. Farpoint panels are rapidly approaching the quality of those at Chessiecon...which is the highest praise I can give.
- This week I spent a good amount of time rearranging our kitchen, in anticipation of the new refrigerator's arrival. Hard and frustrating work, but worthwhile.
- The end of the month is always the time to finalize the next episode of Rule of Five. Writing this serial space opera has given me some of the most writing fun I've had recently.
Projects:
- Had a great and productive time at Farpoint
- Rule of Five episode 2.18
- Worked on my in-progress memoir
- Began formatting a new print edition of Weaving the Web of Days
- Added to my Legion of Super-Heroes site

"People betray themselves by the choice of the accusations they bring to bear on others. The man who hints that you are a thief is almost sure to have a large, vulnerable area of dishonesty in his own inner self."
