It seems like no sooner have I arrived in California than I’m off again. Heres’ the schedule:

• Sunday: Fly to Boston
• Monday: Give training course to client
• Tuesday: Catch train to New York, party at Aussie Consulate, stay with La Gringa
• Wednesday: Tourist; Halloween in Greenwich Village with La Gringa
• Thursday: Train to Saratoga Springs, International Horror Guild Awards
• Friday: World Fantasy Con, buy books
• Saturday: World Fantasy Awards
• Sunday: Train back to New York, stay with La Gringa
• Monday: Train back to Boston, stay with Deb G.
• Tuesday: Fly home, collapse

And then I have only a few days to recover before having to fly back to Boston on business.
