Nice of you to stop by. Actually, that commission we discussed didn't work out....the good news is I held my ground, and probably did the right thing in the long run. Thanks for your sage advice.....hopefully we'll cross paths more down the road....holler anytime. :)John Picaciohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03270031908046307448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29366544.post-69570821962654554672008-08-06T10:43:00.000-05:002008-08-06T10:43:00.000-05:00Congrats John and good luck - the Margarets is a great piece!

Sorry to hear that. Guess I won't see you and Becky until next year. Definitely stay in touch in the meantime...<BR/><BR/>Hi, Christine -- Cell phones are a racket, aren't they? I never turn mine on, unless I'm out of town at a convention. But other than that, I really try not to use it. Might be old school but I've never felt the need for anyone (other than my wife) to be able to find me anywhere, anytime.John Picaciohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03270031908046307448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29366544.post-13011531786107334412008-08-02T22:08:00.000-05:002008-08-02T22:08:00.000-05:00Thanks John!<BR/><BR/>I spent part of today looking at cell phones. I had one once - used it about 5 minutes every 3 months. Haven't seen it since the first of the year (can't you tell how that devastates me?), but now that Michael is travelling more, we decided that maybe I should get one. What a racket.ceshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02228169390182512752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29366544.post-17114837843781282592008-08-02T21:12:00.000-05:002008-08-02T21:12:00.000-05:00Alas no, we won't be able to hit WorldCon or World Fantasy this year. Our final convention for 2008 will be GenCon in a couple of weeks. After that it is hibernation time for Becky and me. :-)Steven Gilbertshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06449692722707812711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29366544.post-11550367162515675332008-08-02T12:40:00.000-05:002008-08-02T12:40:00.000-05:00Maurizio!
