Boy, it’s hard to get back to work. I’m behind on everything, but the e-mail situation wasn’t as bad as I expected…mostly because 68% of the mail which arrived while I was on vacation was spam. But it still took a long time to get through it.

I haven’t organized pictures or thoughts from our vacations yet, but I will, RealSoonNow:

I spent last night communing with Quicken…I’d fallen nearly three months behind in data entry. There’s more quality time with Quicken in my near future, too…the pile of papers to deal with is still far too high.

But right now, I’m looking forward to Worldcon, which is conveniently located in downtown San Jose. I won’t be able to do much there in the evenings, since we’re not taking a hotel room (in other words, I won’t be there for the parties!), so I guess I’ll have to settle for going to programming (something I never would have done in my trufan days), the Hucksters’ Room, the Art Show, and the special events.

It’s been a while since I flipped my page, and much to my surprise, I’ve had a few people ask me if I’m still alive and well.

So, for all of you out there in Radio[User]-land, I am still alive and well; it’s been an intensive summer of vacationing, and I have a ton of pictures to edit and post. But the summer is not over, and neither are the vacations, and I’ll be without Internet access again for another few days. Once I return, I’ll be dealing with a pile of spam (I took a brief work break last week; 61% of the e-mail waiting for me at work was spam) and catching up on work before I can get to the fun stuff.

I expect to be back to regular updates next week. But then it’ll be time to go to Worldcon — no sense in getting back to work too strenuously with a three-day weekend available!
