We have arrived safely home again. The flights were uneventful, as they should be. On the train we were sat in front of 3 teenage girls who were being horrid in the way that only 3 teenage girls can be. (More or fewer mitigates the horror. Three is the perfect number for true awfulness.) So for two very tired adults, that was somewhat trying. I tell you what, though, there’s nothing like being around teenage girls to make me grateful that I’m no longer one myself. :) Upon arriving home…
quick post from SeaTac
I am bereft of ice cream–SeaTac doesn’t appear to have an ice cream parlour of any sort, which seems to me a terrible oversight–but am possessed of a beanbag chair and a wifi connection just a few yards away from my gate, so that’s not all bad. :) A few minutes ago a man walking by said, “How are those beanbags working out for you?” and I gave him two thumbs up and said, “Pretty good!”, whereupon the woman with him said, “He got them installed here!” So I expressed…

It looks like a LOT that way. :) Saw many people, old friends and new, and had a very nice evening indeed. I’m a happy camper. Donno when I’ll post again, maybe not until we get home, but Ted and I…
Seattle signing!
A reminder that I will be signing at the University Book Store in Seattle Washington this very evening, from 7-8pm! I hope many of you will be there! This is an event taking place downstairs on the far side of the cafe, rather than in the regular event area upstairs, so look for us there!
Busy busy days!
We saw a bunch of friends throughout the remainder of our visit in Fairbanks. Sunday night we were like, “….why exactly is it we’re not staying longer?” Well, because Ted’s mom had said she’d be off work the 19th-30th, and we could come those days, and, well, we didn’t really *think* any further than that, darn it. We didn’t think, “We could stay longer, see a few more people, do a few more things…!” Next time we’ll have thought of it in advance. :) So now we’re rushing through Anchorage…
