You mean after they stopped partying with you. <EG>
I had to go home and do some work, you of all people know what it's like
when you are wearing half a dozen different hats at a convention.
Dropped houseguest at the airport this morning, tired but happy.
It was a great convention, the best part of course was getting to meet
up with old friends and of course making a few new ones........now I
have a pile of dishes to go an attend to. :-)

>>Thanks so much for the report! I'd had every intention of attending
this
year, but as so often happens, RL decided to interfere. :) Glad you're
having such a good time. Worldcons are always great fun.<<
A lot of people who had intended to come didn't make it for one reason
or another. It was smaller than US Worldcons, but sometimes smaller is
better. Once I get caught up with myself I will try to write some
more about it. You'll need to get Jette to tell us about the
Masquerade though, I bunked off that one. I was actually busy fighting
with a printer at the time, but that's another story.

Oh my no, please don't stop. I LOVE you guys when you blast back and
forth. Well, I know Elaine has already said she was quit with it - sane
choice, of course. For going on 10 years this List has given me
information, history, belly laughs, admiration of the fine writing
styles exhibited, more belly laughs, and a few tears.
Indeed, There Can Be Only One Highlander List
Thank you all so much,
and Keep Up the Good Work !!

oh, and not to forget Danny, the brilliant statistics fellow. Any one
know where he published his paper on us? er, ah the phenomena of
Internet fan lists?

Just for fun I looked in my old HL folders on my hard drive and
found an old War post written by Kevin that had me, Celli and
various other Richie fans all dressed up and singing Richie-
appropriate songs on a cruise ship! Yikes. I had completely
forgotten that! I checked the date and it was witten in '96
by Kevin Robnett. Wow.
Does anybody else have old War posts? Those must bring back
memories. Of slightly more *warped* times. :)

It's just that I got my hopes up when you finally got a dictionary a while
back. Silly of me, I know.
Nina (on the other hand, the destruction of stereotypes is to be applauded,
& you certainly blast to hell & gone the American idea of the erudite Brit)
