Yes, I Could Do A Lot Of Things, But You Need To...
I could attempt a grand romantic gesture or I could just sit here and wait. I could send you notes everyday or I could never send a word. I could drive to your school and wait outside your class or I could drive to the bar and drink alone again. I could do a lot of things or I could do nothing at all.
Con News
I’ve been working on getting press passes for Penguicon and Youmacon for Geek Troika. In fact, Youmacon looks like a great opportunity for us. I’m working on getting us on a panel, on doing a live show (possibly drunkisode), and some “man on the street” interviews with con-goers and guests. Should be fun.

I found you funny and engaging in a sad, quiet...

“A number of years ago, I worked with a woman who was originally from Detroit. She loved her hometown and missed it terribly. I can’t remember her name, but I vividly remember the glow on her face when she talked about the city she’d left behind and to which she vowed to return someday.

Give me a complaint about your health. Tired? Don’t feel well? Headache? Overweight? 9.5 times out of 10, the first thing out of my mouth is, “you should drink more water.” Likely followed by, “are you sleeping enough?”
I tend to think drinking more water will fix nearly everything. And maybe it won’t fix everything, but here are some benefits:

If Yes, Then Let's Meet In The Morning. If No,...
If I learned to juggle, would you keep me? Or take me to fancy parties with you in the spring? While your big fat guests overstuffed with defrosted crab cakes would whisper, “Hush hush. What a pretty little thing.” …and I would be for you.
