Signing off

I keep trying to think of something profound to say in this last post, and I’m not coming up with anything good. But I did want to finish it before the next Event on my radar screen – that is, Otakon weekend – got underway. So here we are.

I still have a light, if constant, cough, but the local health care system is on it, with antibiotics and X-rays and cool stuff like that. No need to worry on that count.

Little aftershocks from the rest of the trip are going to be around for a while. I’ve been doing double-takes when crossing the street (wait, which way are the cars supposed to be coming from?). And it’s disconcerting to look up at night and recognize the stars, instead of only being able to pick out the Southern Cross among a bunch of strangers.

I took a ton of video, especially back in February and March, when it was the height of summer and everything was green and sunny. Made a couple of video slideshows. Here they are:

And I think that about wraps it up.

The whole trip was awesome. I had a great time. I would do it again in a heartbeat.

…But not just now, because I have a weekend of communing with my fellow geeks to wrangle.

Onward!
