Thanks to all for the Happy Birthdays!
Still in Chicago, where I’ll be until just before the con, staying at a dubious Airbnb place with a crowd of people, but mostly hanging with Ada Palmer (of Too Like the Lightning fame), and Jo Walton (of fame fame), and various others who are equally excellent (but who might not want me to plaster their names all over the Internet, so I am being discreet).
Yep, I’m older. But still here, so: WINNER!
No actual time to post much, but here are some quick pix:

Heron hunting in the Beaver Marsh at Cuyahoga National Park.
