Better late than never?

Hey! I'm alive. Things are weird.

But, you know, I'm going to Worldcon. Am I the only one? Are any of you going to be there? Is life that full of possibility?

Julia, life, man, it just keeps on living.

Hello! I don't know what Worldcon is, but I'd go for a chance to finally meet you.

Must Google Worldcon.....

World Science Fiction Convention, home of the Hugo Awards.

It's in San Jose this year; we were going to drive down but the smoke put paid to that idea.

I was trying to come up with something to say about your Scottsdale situation but all in all I'm out of wisdom at this juncture.

Julia, 2018 is proving to have a lot of personal misery on top of the societal insanity.

Oh, I'm OK. As the song says, I will survive.

Yes, society is insane.

It is very good to see you - although I am sorry 2018 is proving to have a lot of personal misery. Enjoy Worldcon!

The more people you love, the more losses you will experience, but this year has been almost as bad as 2006 that way.

And then I got a med change that ended up causing edema that re-awoke some ligament damage that I'm still having to do PT for, and which is going to make con-going special.

Julia, the entire list is boring to the extreme.

BE, about 60% of the S'cubies are gathered at Facebook, in case you wish to find us there. I know Anne doesn't do FB but am not sure about you.

Julia, virtual hugs.

Hey, hi!
*waves*

Are you? Neat! I'm not, but it sounds like a good time. :D
Glad you're alive!
Hope you're doing okay.

I'm doing OK although very sad at bad moments; not depressed, just unhappy, and able to experience joy where I find it.

On the other hand, I look at therapeutic exoskeletons with envy.

Julia, ankles and knees are such kludged up pieces of design.

Not going to Worldcon, but now I almost wish I could. It's good to hear from you again in any case.

I may need to descend on your hospitality some day, as Walt is no living in Corona so that his mother can work for the Disneyland credit union. I wish that was a joke.

Julia, people have weird life-long dreams
