Busy with traveling, family, and work

Sorry I've been so quiet here but when I haven't been visiting my parents in Yonkers, I've been traveling (had a great time in Seattle at the Locus award weekend), and working. So I haven't been keeping up with my lj friends or facebook at all. But I AM alive and well.

And my dad is slowly recuperating. Tuesday there will be a meeting with the therapists and nurses to discuss his status. My parents and my sister and I are currently discussing (yes, my dad participating) whether they will stay in Yonkers for the season and/or move to Florida permanently.

July/August Discover

I was hired to commission and edit three sf short-shorts for the special Invisible Planet (the Science we Don't see) double issue of Discover Magazine.

It's out now, with 1,000 word stories by Bruce Sterling and Paul McAuley. Cory Doctorow's story will be in a future issue.

Photos from Seattle and the Locus Award Weekend

Unfortunately, I screwed up the sets and put a bunch of sunsets, etc into the people set and I don't want to have to delete a bunch and start again...

Pina Bausch died Tuesday

...and this evening is the first I've heard about it. She was an innovative and fascinating modern choreographer and I always loved to see her dances, even if I didn't always enjoy them. She died of cancer five days after being diagnosed.
