this is a very small violin you are playing for me, isn't it?

I am honored to be a presenter at the forthcoming Diana Wynne Jones Conference, in Bristol this July. (Except now I have to write the paper.)

I am honored to've been asked to teach Fantasy and Science Fiction at the Center for the Study of Children's Literature again this Fall. (Except now I have to prep for the class again.)

If only my time-consuming avocational successes paid well enough to support me, so that making time for them could be easy.

Both of those are bits of awesome news! I'm insanely jealous of anyone just going to taht DWJ conference, let alone presenting.

Oh, I'm plenty tempted, but British Airways doesn't accept candy -- even gelt -- to pay for travel.
