carbonelIt was a lovely time, made especially poignant by the knowledge that it was the last one. The one panel (A Good Read) I was on went reasonably well, I think. The other panelists were not as thrilled by the book I chose (Point of Hopes by Melissa Scott and Lisa Barnett) as I'd hoped. Bringing copies of the three books I had in dead tree format turned out to be worth the space and weight.
I quite enjoyed the Saturday night party, especially the musical bits. As things grew late, a bunch of us sang rounds, and at one point someone asked if anyone knew "Hine Ma Tov." There are several versions of this, and Ruth and I broke into a jazzy version that we both knew, but probably from entirely different origins.

tnh said something like "That's very scary." Heh. And we hadn't even had a chance to demonstrate all the things you can sing "Adon Olam to, which, on due consideration, is probably just as well.
Unfortunately, by the time the plane landed, it was quite clear that on top of the old cough from the cold three months ago, I now have a shiny new cold. Bleah.
I have my preop physical next Monday, and I'll find out then if the surgery has to be delayed.
