I could have bought more books!

Frontier airlines charges $75 for a checked bag if the weight is over 50 pounds. For this reason - and other financial reasons - I didn't buy as many books as I would have liked while at WorldCon. Even so, my suitcase felt very heavy and I was afraid I'd have to cough up the extra money. Not so. The suitcase weighed ONLY 42 pounds. Darn! Too

Sorry! I had mentioned it a few months ago, so forgot to mention it again.

WorldCon ( www.worldcon.org ) is the organization that decides which written works of Science Fiction and Fantasy get the Hugo award each year. It is an international organization and the convention is held in a different city each year. This year it was held in Denver and they nicknamed it denvention ( www.denvention.org ).
