My, I seem to have pretty much taken the summer off, without having had the good grace to announce it.

I’m going to get back to my posting very weekday except for when I don’t schedule. For starters, I’ll talk about Worldcon.

At first, I thought I mightn’t be able to go: Sunday before last, we realized one of our cats had an injured paw; on Monday, we learned he had a puncture wound and an infection, and would need antibiotics twice a day for a week. He’s a big strong cat, and Pocahontas wasn’t sure she’d be able to pill him herself.

I told my prospective Worldcon roommates of my plight, and one of them told me about Pill Pockets, little meat pouches you can hide drugs in to trick your cat into eating them. And they worked! My Worldcon was saved by exciting advances in meat technology!

It was my first Worldcon in a long time, and I had a great time. I’ll tell only one story for now.

Scene: A hotel room, at Worldcon. Enter CLIFF.

CLIFF: I met Walter Koenig.

ZED: Cool.

CLIFF: But I didn’t have with me the thing I specifically brought for him to sign, And it doesn’t have anything to do with Star Trek or Babylon 5.

ZED: Is it the script to the episode of Land of the Lost he wrote?

CLIFF: It’s the DVD case for the DVD of the Land of the Lost episode he wrote.

Cliff pulls the DVD from his luggage and displays it.

ZED: We are such big geeks.
