rolanniTonight, we lose an hour of sleep. In order to console myself for this loss, I not only slept in, but took a nap. I have not yet answered my email. Yes, I am a slug. I have hopes for tomorrow.
We are now officially in pre-con pre-prep. Steve has discovered a Biscuit Factory within walking distance of StellarCon's hotel, which sounds...uncommonly dangerous to me. It seems that the hotel serves breakfast, no lunch, and "limited" bar food dinner, so we may be experimenting in that direction. Can anybody recommend a good Italian restaurant in High Point? Greek? Lunch joint? How about a Mongolian Grill?
It does look like it's going to be Quite Warm in Points South at the end of next week. Not as warm as Atlanta in August (my ghod, that was awful!), but -- 72F/22C? In March? I mean, today it was 50F/10C at my house, which was Downright Unnatural. Also? The snow is turning into mud.
I figure I'll get more writing in tomorrow, but Monday and Tuesday will be mostly consumed with running around doing the I-hate-to-pack boogie, putting working files on The Leewit, finding wires and con clothes and freaking out the cats. We'll be handing the keys over to the house-sitter on Wednesday afternoon, traveling down to Boston, over-nighting there, then ridin' 16 hours with nothin' much to do, arriving at High Point in the wee small hours of Friday morning.
There will then be a Con. I'm greatly looking forward to StellarCon; especially since I had to miss Boskone this year, and because we get South so seldom. We'll be doing an interview, panels, and a reading, swanking around with our fellow Guests of Honor, and just having a blast. Come on by, if you can. It's going to be fun!

Date: 2009-03-08 10:52 am (UTC)I just checked all of my timekeeping devices, one of which gets it from the UK national radio signals, and it seems that the UK does not change time this weekend. Your post did get me a bit worried...

Date: 2009-03-08 10:35 pm (UTC)Now that you mention it, I believe Atlanta has had some heavier snowfalls more recently. I haven't been there in January in more than 20 years, and we never once had more than an inch a winter when I was a kid. Ice storms, on the other hand...
