Ad Astra arrival
I have traveled far today and I’ve already learned some new things. One of these things is that I should always bring my laptop with me when I travel. It was so wonderfully reassuring to open it up and have all my familiar bookmarks in place. It is like a little piece of home that I carry with me. I am going to need that as I spend this weekend outside my comfort zone. The plane flight was boring, which is to be preferred to having an interesting flight. What with all the travel, and the not sleeping well last night I am already very tired and the convention hasn’t even started yet.
We went out to dinner with Kevin J. Anderson, Rebecca Moesta, and Chris Golden. They are all firmly established in the publishing industry. At times I felt intimidated. Fortunately they were all very kind and gracious. It was a wonderful dinner and a delightful conversation.
In the category of not-so-good news, my cell phone has moved from “quirky” to “broken.” I can still convince it to work, but it is not reliable. I’ll need to replace it when I get home.
The convention starts in earnest tomorrow.
