Is That A Real Poncho Or a Sears Poncho?

Title courtesy of the late great Frank Zappa.

All of the con reports I’ve been reading about Origins 2004 kinda make me want to go to Origins some year in the near future. Probably not next year, but maybe the year after. GenCon is fun and all, but a change of pace might be nice. Of course, lately I’ve been thinking of Hawaii alot, so there may be no con going at all next year.

Back on the subject of GenCon, I’m drying some herbs to bring to several of my gamer friends. Right now, I’ve got sweet basil, french tarragon, lemon verbena, garlic and chiles. I’ll have chives, thyme and savory as soon as they regrow from their recent post-bloom haircuts.

Well, time for bed. More blogging later.

Edit From 2019: 15 years later and I have still not gotten back to Origins. Maybe next year. My thoughts about Hawaii did not turn into a vacation until 2006, when we went there for 5 days on our 10th anniversary.
