Hello Everyone.

I returned from Vietnam on Saturday. That was quite the experience. Twenty students and five instructors gutted three classrooms and a hallway, and we rebuilt said area with the strength of our backs and shovels. It was a grueling six days, but I feel like I don't have to worry that I'm losing my edge anymore. I kept up with everyone, sweat and all. We did a good thing (TM).

As is common with many groups, we shared a cold. Mine went from being a manageable sore throat and sniffle to bronchitis in the course of a day. Susceptible was the word the doctor used when I got back. Fear not. It's not almost pneumonia kind. It's over the line from sinusitis kind. If I keep resting and taking my meds, I'll be just fine.

No, I don't like bronchitis as my new hobby, and yes, I will be doing my best to avoid it as much as I can in the future.

So, while I have seen many films (can you say 16 hour flight each way?) and read many books (can you say end of day after construction collapse?) since you last saw me, I have done very little writing. Before the construction started, I did a lot of planning and plotting. And, next week, once I feel better and have some more time, I will continue on from where I left off.

This weekend, I will be at Convergence in Minneapolis. I have 3 panels each day at 5 pm (Plotting, the (Spy Fi) Avengers, and Modern Retellings of Fairy Tales on Thursday, Friday and Saturday respectively; and I'm part of the Broad Universe reading at 3:30 on Saturday. Please come and see me do my thing.

Photos? Yes. But don't expect beautiful Vietnam photos. Expect service learning photos.
