Baltimore, NYC, and Dallas, all in October, that was the plan.

First, I'm sorry we missed Baltimore due to Allison's illness. Influenza with pneumonia is nothing to sneeze, no pun intended.

NYC last weekend was certainly an interesting experience. My warmest, heartfelt thanks to the many fine folks who came by, said hi, and were genuinely fabulous to hang out with. Tops goes to Jim Clancey for shuttling us back to our hotel with all our stuff after the end on Sunday.

BTW, if you are in NYC and are looking for some AMAZING sushi, go to Blue Ribbon Sushi on Sullivan St. in Soho.

Tomorrow (Friday) I leave for Dallas and STAR WARS Fan Days. That's the plan, anyways.

I managed to dodge all of Allison's pathogens for three weeks now, and all it took was a weekend in New York. Yesterday, I was diagnosed with a big fat case of asthmatic bronchitis (no... thank YOU, Big Apple!). I am on some serious meds: antibiotics, nebulized albuterol sulfate, gris-gris & chicken-bone cross. Whatever works, right?

Anyhoo, I'm instructed by my doctor to stay home if I'm not feeling better, so lets all pray to the Snow Demons, Buddha, and the Big Pink Pixie in the Sky that we nipped this in the bud before it gets any worse.

I hope to see everyone in Dallas!
