Another MediaWest has come and gone. I swear they go faster every year.

In spite of my ambivalence about the con this year, I had a fab time. The panels were fun (lots of Pros and a smattering of UNCLE) but the con is really about the people. I share the drive there with my roomie, m. butterfly, and

st_crispins. I get to spend lots of time with my other roomie, FJBryan. It was wonderful to hang out with

silver_cyanne, Kath Moonshine, Glo and Lorraine B., all of whom have now signed up for

bistocon. On the Pros side, there were the lovely

krisserci5, Snow and

sc_fossil who brightened up all the panels and party and events. And it is always a joy to spend time with Flamingo, whom I got to talk with a bit more than usual this year. (I do wish I could go to SHareCon this year, but I don't like to leave the Sweetie and Ros alone for three weekends this year.)

I had intended for this to be my last MW, but I've signed up again for next year. (TT better not have a date on Memorial Day weekend next year. *g*)

On the RL end of things, tonight was our second soccer game. Our team is a really nice bunch of kids, and they're all proving to be pretty good on the field. We managed another win, 3 - 1 this time, and the twins only scored one of those goals. The other two were from kids I wasn't expecting goals from. We only have three kids so far that want to be in goal. Ros, of course, is one of them, as is her best friend. Ros did pretty well in goal, though she did let in our only goal. She's also starting to read the field really well again and get in good defensive position. So it's all good!
