Leaving for parts west

Tomorrow evening I'll be flying to Seattle and will most likely be delayed because of the bad weather expected--rain rain rain and maybe thunderstorms. I'm supposed to arrive in Seattle 9:30 pm but I'm sure I won't. Leslie Howle will be picking me up and I'll be staying with her for two nights.

Monday morning I catch a bus to Vancouver, BC, get picked up by Barbara and Christopher Roden--then drive four hours north with them to Ashcroft,where Barbara's wonderful parents are preparing a barbecue for us. Next day we'll all trek to Calgary, stopping at Golden Tuesday night and possibly in Banff enroute to Calgary Wednesday.

I don't return to NY until November 5th (very late)so I've already sent it my absentee ballot. I urge you all to vote as well--in fact, that's what my next post is about.

Then you have to attend Readercon next year--July--right near you!

I've been to that one (a long long time ago). That would be a lot of fun. Maybe I could even drag my Dad out to go with me :)

Definitely! I haven't seen him in far too long.
