It's been a strange week and a half, with trauma and fun and sadness and inconvenience all jumbled up. One thing that I'm very happy about is that Debbie and I have managed to squeeze some fun into our week, despite everything that's been troubling us.
Some of the fun things we've done have been visiting friends, and spending time with them. Much of that time has been spent discussing Kapcon. We've also been discussing Kapcon at home and on Central. The post-con high is a very cool thing, and I like the idea of capturing it and turning it to productive ends.
