Good Bye, World Fantasy

[cathschaffstump]

I just can’t justify an almost $900 ticket to Canada after our Japan extravaganza. On top of that, no one to share hotel with. The trip would be a huge amount out of pocket.

So, unless there’s some sort of Alberta miracle, it ain’t happening.

Which means I’ll hit our local Icon for a day, and run away before Bryon and Steve have their Hammer party.

Which also means I’ll take a close look at Potlatch in February. I have an international ed conference earlier that week, though, so it might not be the smartest idea I could have.

If this is the only place I have to start budgeting, I’m grateful I’m doing so well, given today’s trying economic times. My only regret is all the lovely people I’d meet. At this point in my career, it’s not a necessity, however, and I’ll be pragmatic.
