Party at the Starport, Saturday Nov. 1

This weekend, we will be having our annual sometime-around-Halloween party at Grand Central Starport, Saturday, November 1^st; you'll find maps, directions, and contact information at the link.

As usual, it's a potluck -- kids, friends, and musical instruments are always welcome. Costumes are encouraged, but not required.

Good thoughts really work!

This is a followup to this post's request for good thoughts. After a weekend of nail-biting, Colleen finally got her ultrasound results back. The cysts are simply cysts, they're fairly small, and their size hasn't changed at all since a previous scan three years ago. Loud cheers!

Colleen needs surgery anyway to fix a(nother) hernia, but there's no reason why it can't be done next summer when it won't interfere with a potential job or with our planned holiday parties and conventions.
