In fact, it's been good to see so many of these folks in outside-a-con environment, even if a lot of what we're talking about are the cons; It's just.. unhurried, and freer. Good times indeed.
But now I'm back home in Connecticut, arriving at about 2am. Or is it home? I had the same reaction to it as to Warphammer's or Slickpuppy's place as I pulled in the driveway. Not "I'm home", but "Ah, I know this place." One of the clearest signs, I think, that it's time to seriously think about a relocation.
But, that can wait. Time to clear off all the mail Mom'goose has tossed on my bed for the past two months, and sleep.
