Those fraud things are annoying, but it's good you caught them. I go to Conflikt in Seattle every January, & for several years patronized the same Denny's there. Yet, one time the card company shut my card down because of trying to use it at the Denny's. What the duck?
Is J all right? There's far too much cancer going around: two filkers in Houston [pancreas & kidney], Louisiana Paul finally died of his last week, & my sound guy, Harold, had a brain tumor removed the day before we went to WorldCon. [The surgery went well, & he had lots of energy & was poinging about his next filk project.] WorldCon was pretty good, but we hadn't been in 6 years, & I pumpkin much earlier these days [especially with those convention center chairs, 2" taller than I'm used to, so my feet dangle more & swell sooner]. Things were far away from each other, so I couldn't get to, or get in to, some of the panels I wanted. What I did get to, I enjoyed, though. Seeing Spider Robinson musicgasm during his concert was a major highlight. You may know, his wife & daughter both died of cancer within a year of each other, 9 years ago. He's still not writing, but can at least enjoy music and the fans' love for him.
Monday of WorldCon I blew off, & we went to a redwood park & hiked a few hours. Very shady & cool [in more ways than one]. Tuesday we went to Yosemite for a couple of days. We did short trails & saw some ranger programs. Ze spouse toted the water & snacks; I toted the camera. There was no internet or tv, but fairly good grub. We got in lots of hiking, so on a 10-day trip, I only put on 4 lbs. The catch is, I'm getting blood work for the doc & seeing her next week, so I won't have time to lose it all. Coming up 2 years diabetic, & doing pretty well overall.
Congratulations to your parents! It's always good to hear from you.
