Shreveport this weekend.

Going up to Shreveport for PPD and Ken's memorial. It's hard to believe Ken is dead. He was only in his late 50s. Not old at all by today's standards. Apparently he was one of two people who died at this year's Dragonfest in Colorado. At least he was doing what he loved at the end: bringing cool jewelry to the Pagan communities.

So much to get done. I'm going to have to give David either this or tomorrow evening to deliver the printer. If neither is convenient, it will have to be next week.

I tried to call lab_rattus back last evening and the evening before (she never seems to remember that I've got my writers' group on Monday nights). I hope her interview went OK. She seemed to be freaking out somewhat over it.

Ye flipping gods, I'm tired already and haven't even driven the diagonal of the state yet. It will be nice to see Brad again. He's letting us stay at his place.

That sucks :(

Dragonfest seems to kill one or two people every year. Or it has in the past, anyway, from the random discussions I have with former festival staff.

I think people forget that the air is THIN there, and manage to overtax themselves, because they think they've acclimated to the altitude but they really haven't.

(I felt like I was going to die setting up camp in 100+ degree weather 2 weeks ago)

Have fun Shreveport. The company I used to work for had a factory there. I've never been, but I've talked to folks there on a conference call...

Dorothy wrote a very lovely memorial of Ken in the comments of the article on the vox. It is hard to believe he is gone. I wasn't sure how old he was, but I knew that he was not at all old.

Have a safe drive this weekend.
