Catching up

I have returned from LosCon 32, manageably weary from the 600-mile round trip drive but energized from the Con itself. While there, I met many old, and made several new, friends, which means I failed to make it to a single panel presentation. (Despite forsaking the many panels, I still missed the skinny-dipping, alas!)

So, yes, although now at home, I find myself w a y behind on the to-do list. I hope to write and post late today -- more likely tomorrow -- a lengthy post re the market. Until then, however, some photos (click each to enlarge) of my weekend escapade...
