What I have been up to since ConFusion:

[jeffreyab]

Went to the Ontario Library Association Conference, worked on it, had fun and ate Thai food.

Went Curling for the first time in 20 years and spent days recovering, having a cold did not help.

Saw the bands The Joys and Wide Mouth Mason in concert here in Sarnia, both were very good shows and I hope to see more of the Joys.

Caught a nasty cold that has been dragging me down.

Been planning for the next few months, birthday party, Penguicon, Ad Astra and a special assessment for my condo, lots of money shuffling.

So what have you been up to?

I also remember reading something about a chair.

I admit the comment was those you have not posted lately.

I assume that you're referring to the post about being tied to a chair? *grin* That falls under the category of "spending time with Morgan."

Hey! I have a question for you! Well, actually, a lot of questions.

I am Guest Liason for 2becontinued this year and I wanted some pointers. I know you've been a liason before, but I'm not sure if you've been a "Head" Liason. Even if you haven't been the "Head", wanna send me some pointers?
