Diversacon

I've been trying to list three reasons for being happy every day, as a way of reminding myself that my life is pretty okay, though reading the news makes me feel crazy. The following is yesterday's list:

Three reasons for happiness: I went to Diversacon and talked with Timmi DuChamp, Russell Letson, Ceasarea Abartis, Mike Levy, Sandy Lindow, Carolyn Ives Gilman... and numerous others. I think that's three reasons for happiness right there. Did two panels and both went okay. Had dinner at the Vietnamese French Nouvelle Cuisine restaurant. I think I consumed a zillion calories, mostly in the dessert. Got home and Patrick had switched a couple of chairs in the living room. The Adirondack chair is now next to the window and contains Mr. Bear, the gigantic teddy bear Patrick got from a homeless guy. The mission style walnut rocker (which formerly contained Mr. Bear) is now in Patrick's corner away from sunlight and next to the Herman Miller scooter, a very stylish computer table.

The idea is to give Patrick a more comfortable chair, while making sure that Mr. Bear has a chair suitable to his size. He fills the Adirondack chair.
