I've got a nasty flu, and am coughing a lot despite cough medicines. No other symptoms except low energy and difficulty thinking, and a sort of generalized rotten feeling. Fortunately, the internet means I don't have to respond at normal human speed. So, those of you I am conversing with via e-mail or notes, expect some delay.

Further Confusion was fun. Lots more attendance this year, and way more fursuits. Sales were down, for me and many other dealers, but worthwhile for me (much expensive dentistry lies in my future, alas, and this will help); and it was good to talk with many friends and acquaintances, several of them DAers. I went to the Chaoswolf and Selkit engagement party, and am looking forward to the wedding. Also saw the masquerade, but didn't dance, as their current music didn't inspire me.

And from the convention hotel, Friday morning, snow was visible on the farther peaks, though it had melted off by Sunday. It is now raining here, a lot.
