I did wind up going to Capricon. I _did_ spend the weekend looking for the 'least bad' chair, but as the GT room was on the business suite floor, there were a lot of very nice upper management conference chairs in the room, so my back is no more cranky than it was when I left. Perhaps a bit less, as I didn't spend a few hours every day moving things in the workroom....

I did keep up my tradition of not going to programming, but as it's been a decade since I've gone to any, this should not be a surprise.

It was a very small con, for fairly obvious reasons. There has often been a large 'out-of-region' contingent for the con, and many of those people decided they didn't feel comfortable flying, and who in their right minds wants to drive into the upper Midwest in the winter? (some people with memberships were snowed in!) In addition, the convention has been out in the northern suburbs of Chicago for decades, and it was the first con in a (huge) downtown hotel. Lotsa Chicago peeps decided they didn't want to come downtown for a convention, so we missed them. (J was talking to his walking group from work, and said 'we're driving to Chicago to hang out with people who live 20 miles from us' and he was not entirely wrong.)

The cats were frantic when we got home. It's been *YEARS* since they've been left all alone. Usually when J and I went somewhere together, at least one kid stayed home for Reasons. And we forgot to put out an extra bowl of food when we left.... But they survived, and have (for the most part) stopped giving us the evil eye.

I have tried your phone number once or twice. "Call cannot be completed as dialed."
