In Proud Consciousness of a Duty Done...

I got up early enough to attend the SFWA Business Meeting, which was quick, informative, and enjoyable. No one threw any furniture, and my overall impression is that the organization is doing good things. I delivered (as deputy) the treasurer's report, had some coffee, and am now free, for certain values of free, until this evening when, in addition to parties and such, my brother is driving up for dinner from Cinncinnati. Since Columbus is, in fact, closer to Cinncinnati than San Francisco is, it makes sense, but even so, a three hour drive in the name of siblinghood is heroic.

Bliss

Not only did I have really really good tapas for dinner (with my brother, who drove up from Cinncinnati for the privilege) but we then went to Jeni's for ice cream. I had a split cup of Queen City Cayenne (chocolate with cinnamon and cayenne--the flavors come in waves, first the chocolate, then the cinnamon, then--wow, the heat of the cayenne) and Salted Caramel.

Oh. My. God.
