Ugh Gronk And All That
Home from Boskone -- well, I've been home for a while, but I've been vegging on the couch for a while.
Happy day at the con, including a really terrific panel about copyright with Cory Doctorow, Patrick Nielsen Hayden and Beth Meachum, who made a very good case that the continued extension of copyright (now to 70 years past death of author) isn't helping anybody but corporations. Anyway, I came away feeling that I had a better grasp on the issues.
I had enough time to hang out with various friends, both people I get to see all the time and those from further away, and I was able to give Farwing and Nineweaving rides home, and even stop for some swift but necessary grocery shopping, so all is well in that respect.
Also finished the other sleeve on the sweater just now, though I think the second went so much better that I should think about redoing the first one... but we'll see. Now onto the main body.
It was 9 this morning, 31 when I came home. And it was 58 on Friday morning, so I think my body is in shock, a little. On the other hand, it felt so much warmer this afternoon that I ran into the grocery store in only my sweater.
Thank goodness that tomorrow is a day off!
