Title Goes Here
Jun. 1st, 2013 11:28 pmI did all but one of the things on my "Things I Want To Do At Wiscon" list.
I arrived in Madison a full week ahead of the convention, and spent quality time with my folks, and my brother, who came down from Green Bay for the weekend. I had a ball with Carrie, a gal I used to work with at the dentist's office. I didn't get a chance to see her when I was in town last year. She and her gang are a hoot, and I had a really great time with them!
Every year my folks get a bit more frail, but all things considered, they're in pretty good shape. They keep up a house and a good-sized yard, they drive and travel, mom even has a smartphone! We mostly did yard-work and sat in the backyard watching the hummingbirds come to the feeders. It was very relaxing.
The Weds before Wiscon started, I went to my old nail salon, and had my nails done. I wanted to feel girly, so I indulged myself. The gal at the salon remembered me, even though I left town seven years ago. I drove around on the west side of Madison, and also indulged in a Culver's butter-burger.
( And now, the Wiscon part of the trip )
So now I'm home. One thing that happened while I was away was a podcast I was in was put up. Back in April, I was at an art show drinking wine, when a friend asked me, "hey, wanna be in a podcast?" I agreed, and went into a room and was asked questions about technology. He interviewed lots of people that day, and so I didn't think anything of it. They wouldn't actually use anything I said, would they? Turns out they did, and I'M AWESOME!! My part starts about 12 minutes in.

So that cheered me up! Now that I'm back, I have to get cracking on the car. I have exactly 20 days to glue the rest of the aquarium stones to it. And I still need to think of a name for it! Help!
