I've been collecting things I found on the ground. Some I pick up & put in my pocket or my canvas bag. (The other day I found half a pig! The back half, so I don't know who got the squeal. I think it was made of hematite, or something that looks like hematite, & the back half was about the size of my thumbnail.) Some I collect with my camera, like this little pretty.I'm keeping this post short, because I'm "busy right now" (as Nick said to my mom when he was just a toddler being called in to eat. He didn't even look at her, just waved his hand dismissively & said those now immortal words) but I have a blogging purpose: Because I am "busy right now," I have decided to not attend the long-sold-out World Fantasy Convention in San Diego. Because I am not a social media girl, I don't access the Facebook & Twitter sites where the lists of those desperately wanting to attend are posted. Hence, this blog. If you want to go or you know someone who does or you are a Facebookie &/or a Twitterite who would like to let some "friend" know about this, I am bequeathing the knowledge to you. If you put a 1 in front of the $2 I found on the ground & a 5 after it, you have the membership price of $125.
Let me know, or let someone else know they can let me know (probably pretty quickly, because WFC is next weekend & I have to get a letter transferring membership--I can probably email a scanned, signed letter to the happy attendee) at

WFC 2011 membership for $125
Voila. Off to my other business.
