While activity on the blog has slowed down since the reunion the ramifications of the event have not. I'd like to share a recent interaction I had with Rich Jaouen and hopefully some of you will send me follow ups from the reunion to share as well. I also finished my first Connie Willis novel and am about to start my second for those of you are science fiction fans. I'll bet Courtney could even get Connie to autograph your book.

Pat,
I'm using a picture of Jack as my screen saver this week. If you would have won a national title I would have used you.

I was going to be one of the national polio poster children until the girl in the picture with me died. Does that qualify?

Pat,
This is perfect. I wish I were the kind of person that doesn't see the humor in this, but I'm not. Thanks for the screen saver Pat!

You're more than welcome. ;) I just feel honored knowing I can replace Jack Ryan when the time comes.
