My flight to San Jose isn’t until 11:30 tomorrow morning, so I don’t have be up too early. It’s going to be a long day after that, though, pretty much nothing but travel. I’m supposed to get into Minneapolis-St. Paul around two o’clock, then fly to San Jose three hours later. It will be around ten o’clock New York time when I finally touch down in California, but luckily I won’t have to be at work (in the same hotel I’m staying at) until eight o’clock Thursday morning. I’m hoping I’ll get to see a little of San Jose while I’m there, despite being at work (selling books at our exhibit booth) until five o’clock every day, but there’s no guarantee. It’s not exactly how I’d like to be spending my birthday — I can think of a few other places I’d prefer this free trip to be sending me — but, then again, it is a free trip, and the work itself isn’t too hard, so I’m not exactly complaining.
I get back late Sunday night, which is one of a couple of reasons why I’m taking next Monday off. I think I’m going to take my laptop with me, and I think I’ll have internet access while I’m away, but if you don’t hear from me between now and then, don’t worry. All is well. I’m selling books and meeting authors.
In the meantime, did I mention I announced the final table of contents for Kaleidotrope #8? Because, well, I did.
