Oh, now it's late again, this is getting silly. It's all the fault of the Tour de France, which is eating into my free time something fierce, but you could hardly turn away from today's stage what with all the attacks on Armstrong all the way up l'Alpe d'Huez. He made it into the yellow jersey, but it's still wide open at this point (except for Simoni, hah!).
Finished up at Readercon today. If I don't get those summaries typed up by tomorrow I'll have forgotten everything (probably too late for some already). Just went to a few panels, nothing too stressful, was back home by 2 pm, but Beth and the kids weren't around most of the afternoon, so I just hung around and didn't do much. I did get the digital camera pictures downloaded onto the computer, so I should be able to put those up in the next couple of days. Sure is easier than scanning them one by one. Also picked up six more Doc Savage books from one of the dealers today, bringing my total to 81 out of 96. Didn't see much else that I couldn't live without. The guy said he had a bunch of doubles and omnibuses too, and I said, "yeah, but they're kinda expensive, right?" and he said, "well, yeah". He was going on about what great condition some of them were in, but I'm not looking for mint copies, just ones I can read someday and not worry about them (plus, since it would be about 10 years before I'd get to them, they'd just as well have some shelf wear when I buy them since they sure as hell will by then).
