Breaking news: no Boskone for me
Alas.
I’ve been having some trouble with my feet (plantar fasciitis), and seeing a doctor and physical therapist and all.
I thought I’d be improved by Boskone weekend, but it seems not to be the case. In fact, kinda worse.
So, I have to cancel out. Conventions involve a lot of walking around from one end of the hotel to the other, up stairs and down when the elevators are full, and standing around enjoying the art show and dealers’ room. I’m afraid a just can’t handle that.
Rats.
On the upside: I have all next week off! I might go somewhere (if I’m improved, or if it’s a place I can just drive to, and not have to haul through miles of airport concourses). Impromptu writer’s retreat!
If you’re going to Boskone, say Hi to everyone for me.

Too bad about your planter’s peanutitis! I was looking forward to seeing you. Hope you feel better by Readercon.

I’m sorry to hear that. When my mother had plantar fasciitis, the podiatrist recommended she wear high heels. That helped her. It took quite a while to fully heal, but she wasn’t in pain all the time.

Nooooo! I imagine this as your reaction. If not, please ignore. What a drag, though. I had plantar warts in high school, on both feet, but they were burned off with radiation. Hard to do with a tendon, eh?
How about roller skates?

Bummer. Next time!

So sorry to hear you’ve been de-feeted . . . .

Sorry to hear you’re in pain. Plantar fasciitis sucks. Hope you recover soon.

Just a fan that’s wandering by to say … you were sadly missed at Boskone. And good luck with recovering from the plantar fascitis.
