Word reached me today; I am not at this point certain whether I misunderstood what was said before or whether financial circumstances have been reviewed since then, but Anonycon cannot afford to provide me with a place to stay, only free admission. I understand completely and have no bad feelings about this, only regrets–I know no one of whom I am aware in the Stamford, Connecticut area, so I will not be able to attend. I wish them the best. I don’t like to be among those who can’t attend a convention without some arrangements being made to pay for my room, but I lose money when I attempt to cover my own expenses, generally, and this business is tough enough without that kind of cost.

My big accomplishment of yesterday is a substantial improvement in the new Multiverser.org web site. I have probably doubled the number of dead links, thank you, by installing pages to fill all the dead links that already existed which in turn link to other non-existent pages. Still, there is now more information than there was, and I believe that any link on the entry page which you select will take you somewhere.

I also did a smattering of editing on the Romans notes, which I of course do whenever I can anticipate being stuck waiting somewhere. I finally got my mother-in-law to the bank with her social security check, two and a half hours on my part to get there, wait for her, take her to the drive-up window, return her home, and get home myself, primarily because she is uncomfortable if she does not take the check to the bank herself. As Arthur said of knights picking flowers, someone’s got to do it.

The weekend cometh, and I will have a day to attempt to catch up all things at home, but I do not yet know how that will go. Let me not get ahead of myself–I am not yet done with today.
