Home again, home again, jiggedy-jig (Wiscon again)

[lydy]

Slowly, the pieces fall into place. I have a way to get to Wiscon. (Thank you Beth.) I have something to do when I get there. (Thank you, Elise.) I have a place to stay. (Thank you, Box o Delights -- and to others who also offered.) What I'm missing is a way to get home. I live in Minneapolis. Is there anybody heading in that direction on the way back? I don't need someone to drop me off at my door, if that's inconvenient. Our transit system may not be great, but it'll get me home from any reasonable stopping point.

I can also take a Greyhound home, so I'm not worried. The only thing that will stop me from getting to Wiscon at this point is if a) something unexpected happens, or b) I don't get better enough from this perfectly horrible virus that I have. It's Tuesday. I've been deathly ill since Sunday. There's a good chance I'll be on the mend, is my opinion. Anybody who has an in with the gods of disease, would you put in a good word for me? Thanks.

This is good strategy, getting sick and then healthy again before you go to Madison for a con. Much better than during. I'll have to keep it in mind if it comes up again.

Until when will you be there?

Happy birthday! Good luck at WisCon. (When I canceled my membership I was reminded that I'd signed up for the Dessert event. Sigh.)

Uninspiredly-phrased, but well-meant best wishes...

... for a happy birthday, and many more.

Looking forward to seeing you!

Monday, more or less. I believe the room is through Monday night.

Thanks, Joel. David says I can't call myself forty-'leven because that would mean that I'm 51. four'leven doesn't sound so cool, but it's true that I will answer anyone's question-- even if I don't know the answer. Twice legal plus 2 doesn't sound that good either. And frankly forty-four just doesn't sound interesting enough. There must surely be interesting trivia out there about the number 44, but I don't know of any.
