I don't know if you can see the changes that have come over me...

...for the last few days I've been afraid I might drift away.

My bags are, once again, packed to go; my 3:30am alarm has successfully pulled me from warm bed to cold reality. The cats circle like dismayed, fuzzy sharks, demanding to know what I think I'm doing. Surely I can't be thinking of leaving. Why, they would be horribly offended if I were to do something as senseless as that. And they have lots of claws, both individually and as a cumulative entity. LOTS OF CLAWS.

But I am going, because going is part of my job. Going is what enables coming back.

For the next four days, I will be at Conclave, located in scenic Romulus, Michigan. I will enjoy panels. I will sing songs. I will have a wonderful time, and yes, I will hope to see you there. All that stands between me and Michigan is a plane ride. All that stands between me and home (and the ocean of claws) is Michigan.

Here I go again.

Have a fun trip and stay warm! (I know you'll be super busy but if you can make it over to Ann Arbor there's some lovely stuff there like Zingermans which is foodie heaven.)

On closer ground, there is a restaurant called Beirut at 7650 Merriman Rd
Romulus, MI 48174, which amazing and delicious and affordable. I love their COBRA juice and have actually scheduled airline flights so I could have enough time to eat at Beirut.:) (It is also literally right next to the airport.)
