Speaking of bad news. . .

[rolanni]

Steve and I are very sorry, indeed, to announce that we will NOT be attending the 74th World Science Fiction Convention, MidAmeriCon II, to be held in Kansas City, August 17-21.

A direct casualty of this is the signing we were to do at the Bradley Fair Barnes and Noble, in Wichita, Kansas, on August 14.

We apologize to everyone who thought they'd have a chance to meet us, or to renew our acquaintance.  And we especially apologize for the lateness of the hour.  Up until this past Saturday, we were certain that we'd be attending.

So, here's what we'd like you to do -- go to the con, and have a terrific time.  Raise a glass of whatever it is you're having, and share the toast with friends:  "To Plan B!" which is our own most-used salute.  Drop us a note, if you can, and tell us about the con. We'd like that.

So that's the bad news.

Again, we apologize, but -- necessity is.

Hope you and Scrabble are OK.

My wife and I had high hopes of meeting you.

So sorry to hear that things didn't work out for you to attend WorldCon next month. But stuff happens.

Oh phoo

But I hope that you are both well. I worry.

Your fans will survive without you at the convention. Perhaps we need to get together for that "toast" anyway?

I'll try to post.

I very much appreciate this idea. I've been trying to find ways to live with a more positive attitude. I like this. I'm going to use it.

Thanks,
