Day Four of the Worldcon has dawned, which means that a few hours from now a number of shiny rocketships (and one plaque) will be handed out to some very lucky and talented authors.
Valerie and I will be there to witness all the festivities, and Barry will be along too (sporting a black silk bow tie for the occasion).
Before any of that can happen though, I have the following scheduled activities:
10:00 – Writing Workshop, Section Q.
1:00 – SFWA Meeting (A-02).
5:00 – Reading from the new Conroy story (A-15).
6:15 – Dinner with an old friend and colleague.
In and amidst all of that, I’m hoping to slip in and attend one or more of the following readings by other authors:
2:00 – Lev Grossman (A-14).
3:00 – Nancy Kress (A-15).
3:30 – David Brin (A-14).
4:00 – Steven Gould (A-14).
And now, if you’ll excuse me, I need to begin my morning ablutions and come fully awake.
Meanwhile, here’s Barry explaining to Gail Carriger that he likes his tea with lemon and sugar:

See you at the Hugo Awards!

Day Three is about to start. Mind you, I’ve been here since Friday night (due to the KLI conference that preceded the Worldcon). My feet are very sore by the end of each day, but it’s all been glorious fun and well worth it.
In a bit over an hour I’ll be meeting up with about 40 members of Codex, the online writing community found by Luc Reid. We will have breakfast and tell many lies to one another I’m sure. After that, the rest of the day is a whirlwind of activity:
10:30 – Attend to Daniel Abraham’s reading (A-14).
12:00 – Iron Chef: Flash Fiction (A-03)
1:30 – Attend to Walter Jon Williams’s reading (A-15).
2:00 – Autographing at the SFWA Table (Dealers’ Room)
4:00 – Neologism and Linguicide (D-04)
That will be followed by dinner with an old friend, and then a round of parties that will probably carry me to midnight.
If you’re here at the convention, I hope to see you!
Meanwhile, here’s Barry to remind you that Winter is coming!

Hope to see you at the convention tomorrow!

During his first couple months with me, Gej would steal his food dish and run off with it. He’d gnaw on it somewhere private, and sometimes he bring it back and sometimes he would. Days could pass before I’d find it. We originally had a couple of them, two identical blue bowls. One is still missing (though I like to think they’re entangled on a quantum level and so I might still retrieve it one day).
Gej likes to take his meals near the sliding glass door in the kitchen. It opens onto a deck, which in turn steps down onto a patio and the backyard. At this time of year, the dinner time includes a slow sunset through the trees and long shadows. A few feet away from his bowl placement is Gej’s doggie door, allowing a quick egress when he spies a neighbor or a deer (or a neighboring deer). At such times, dinner can wait, and he’ll bolt outside and defend his territory with a tirade of fierce barking.
This mealtime was quiet though. No need to enforce the peace. Just warm sunshine and kibble. It’s a dog’s life.
