Still Prepping
I’m continuing to get ready for our Loscon https://loscon.org/ blood drive. It’s not like I’ve been working on it all this time, just on the weekends. As you can see, my IT Department (Kris) has been working on taking my …

Getting Ready for Loscon
Kris and I used to have a dealer’s table, both of us were in the art show and working the blood drive. And once at Phil and Ed’s Excellent Convention I also did camerawork at the masquerade. Now, without the …
