maybe partially

Back home from Bubonicon because there are things I have to do that I didn't do while I was having a good time at the con. I'll be driving back in a few hours to help with putting things back into storage. As for the panel about Space Opera that I was on this morning, I don't think I made a total fool of myself.
("A partial fool, maybe?")
Probably.

"Valour and Vanity"... and pirates too

With Bubonicon almost over, I can resume reading Mary Robinette Kowal's Regency novel-in-progress "Valour and Vanity". About time too because I'd had to stop at the point where Jane and her husband Vincent were on a ship to Venice that had been boarded by pirates not of Penzance.
