Recently (last weekend) we attended the Nebula Awards in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Â Actually, we went to visit our good friends, Tim and Bernadette. Â Tim—Timons Esaias—is an accomplished poet and a solid SF writer. Â You should go find his work, it will improve your mind. Â Bernadette, his wife and partner, is a physician and one of the finest people I’ve ever met. Â The gentleman with the magnificent mustache is Douglas Gwilym, whose acquaintance we had just made. And, of course, that’s Donna beside me, my sweetie.
This is the night of the reception and award ceremony, so we’re all appropriately attired. It was a fine night and the tributes to the writers and the craft and those we have lost this past year left me seriously moved. In any case, proof that we were there and that  I at least can clean up well. More later.
