The Future

Hopping on a plane in a couple of hours to fly 45 minutes to Seattle. Am I excited? Maybe, cautiously.

Love Life

Just wonderful. ButterflyEffect wrote below

    having forsworn all forms of online dating once and for all. It's a sham.
You're right bfx, it is mostly a sham -- and there's always champagne for our real friends and real pain for our sham friends -- but you just never know.

Summer Feelings

I can't call this Vancouver weather summer. Maybe next week.

Miscellaneous

I wish I could throw more time into _refugee_'s writing prompts, but every day has been bizzy. I'm off to Seattle actually to teach a writing workshop at a genealogy conference. Most of the workshops are about understanding the 1910 census or searching for gravestones in no-longer-existing villages, but people have a hunger to turn history into stories. I did something like this in LA in 2012. They told me to expect maybe 15 people, so I made 15 handouts. 45 people showed up.

This time I made 50 handouts. I'll probably have 30 leftover to snail mail to anyone who is interested.

The Only Thing that Really Matters

At the moment, the only thing that really matters is to pack and leave. Bye for now hubski!!

EDIT

oh, and by the way, it's my five-year-anniversary on hubski today, if you count a year as 365.25 days and/or throw in a leap year.
