Well my bags are packed; I'm ready to go.

Despite some confusion about my flight times, I am packed and ready to depart for New York City tomorrow morning. I have lain in food and litter for the cats, so that they are not forced to kill and eat my mother. I have charged my electronics and synched my iPod and had my sister wash my hair for me, just in case the purple dye sets off the bomb sniffers again. (Seriously. The dye sometimes sounds a false positive on the TSA equipment. So it's best if Youngest Sister washes and blow-dries me the night before I fly, just to be safe.)

I'm sorry I was unable to get the hardship giveaway winners picked and packed before I went; that will happen as soon as I get home. I'll be at ConNooga in a few weeks, and I do hope to see you there. In the meantime, I'll be running around visiting my publishers, seeing my girlfriend, and missing my cats and creepy dolls and bed.

I miss them all already.

Wish me luck.

I haven't flown anywhere since, um, a while ago, and I've been dyeing my hair purple for longer than that. I guess I need to find out whether my purple hair dye will set off the TSA alarms; what brand do you use?

And if your plane passes over my house - at least one landing pattern for Newark and one for JFK do pass over this location - I'll wave :-)

Since I had to Google both of those, I guess I'm safe. I use Special FX or N'Rage, depending on availability. (I dye my own hair - I haven't been to a hair salon in more than forty years.)

I'm sorry the weather in NYC has greeted you with single-digit temperatures and wind gusts up to 50 mph or more, resulting in seriously below-zero wind chill numbers, not to mention the snow that's predicted for Saturday afternoon. If possible, hire a limo instead of trying to hail taxis.
