RTBTCKI The Post Seattle Edition

Kathleen David | September 30, 2009

I am putting Seattle on the list of cities I would like to live in. I found it very nice and family friendly.
It is amazing how much can pile up when you are not around. And then there are all the things that you bring back into the house which you have to try to [...]

Back in NY with the Jet Lag to prove it

Kathleen David | September 29, 2009

Overall the trip back was probably just about the best it could be. Tina (who runs a wonderful art show at FoolsCap. Highly Recommended) picked us up and got us to the airport in plenty of time. What we didn’t know is that we needed that time because our seats were separate including Caroline. A [...]

FoolsCap 11 Day 3 and the beginning of the trip home

Kathleen David | September 28, 2009

Sunday was another nice day. Caroline played with her new convention buddies. Peter did panels. I got to see the art show and talk to some people I met here. We even picked up a couple of nice things in the auction.
This has been a very nice experience and I highly recommend FoolsCap to [...]

Foolscap 11 Day 2

Kathleen David | September 27, 2009

In which Caroline finds some convention friends and I see some of the convention and meet some new friends.
Foolscap is what I would call a relaxacon. No frantic schedules, no running between hotels or even floors at a hotel, just a relaxed pace and a lot of time to talk to people.
Caroline met some girls [...]

FoolsCap 11 Day 1

Kathleen David | September 26, 2009

In which I saw a lot of the city but not much of the convention.
Thanks to my friend Janna, Caroline and I were able to go around Seattle a bit. We went to the top of the Space Needle which was really neat. The interactive exhibits were interesting too. You do get a lot of [...]

On the West Coast for FoolsCap 2009

Kathleen David | September 24, 2009

The plane ride was fine. Getting Delta to take the luggage was a PITA. Due to a Delta Agent telling us we could not get out at Terminal 4 and we had to go to Terminal 3, we “missed” the cut off for luggage by 4 ½ minutes which was earlier than usual. We finally [...]

Happy Birthday to my Loving Husband Peter

Kathleen David | September 23, 2009

Today is my Husband’s Birthday. He is a wonderful person and I am so lucky to have him in our lives.
I have talked about all the things I love about him over the years and those are still true.
He has been there for me. He cheers me on, celebrates my successes, and comforted me [...]

A Personal Rant about the current American Healthcare System

Kathleen David | September 23, 2009

Which I am going to put behind a cut so those who do not wish to read it may pass it by.

RTBTCKI The First Day of Fall 2009 edition

Kathleen David | September 22, 2009

Today is the first day of fall. Well, it will be at 5:18 pm this afternoon. Where did the summer go? Well actually I think I can answer that since we had a pretty packed summer this year. We even got in a short family vacation which was very nice.
I feel very muzzy headed this [...]

Wild Wacky Weekend

Kathleen David | September 21, 2009

With lots of ups and downs for various members of the family at various times. I think we are all trying to process what happened in a rather short time. Some metaphoric doors slammed shut in our faces but other unexpected metaphoric doors opened with more possibility for the future. I have no idea [...]
