Impatient

Hmm, one of the problems with coming home early is that no one has posted photos yet!

Thank you all for a wonderful weekend. Everyone in baitconcom is amazing; I have no idea how y'all pull this thing together!

pictures!

More at http://www.flickr.com/photos/qwrrty/sets/72157627060163784/ :-)

I don't think there are any pictures here of folks who don't want pictures of them to be public, but let me know if I got a picture of you here and I shouldn't have. :-)

(no subject)

here are my pictures from the weekend. lots and lots of cute kid pictures, and a bunch of strangely missing shots (how did i not manage to photograph JB or most of the BCC?)
please let me know if there are any pictures you want me to remove, or any pictures you want full-sized printable versions of :)

thanks again for another wonderful weekend.

3d photos

I was playing with my 3d camera at baitcon. Here are the raw results. The camera takes the stereo grams in the wrong aspect ratio, so if you decided to play with them you'll have to tweek that.

Anyway, don't know how interesting it is to people, but I thought I'd share.

Deer tick alert

I found a deer tick on

gosling after we got home from Baitcon, which could have been there since Friday afternoon for all we know. So, check yourselves for ticks, and check your kids too! Deer ticks are tiny, so look carefully. And, next year it would be a good idea to do what we did not and check yourselves and your kids at least once a day.

Because the world LOVES irony

halleyscomet checked his email via cell phone on the drive back from Baitcon. We were at the Ludlow rest plaza and he had to read one of the emails aloud to me because he knew that it would make me happy. The email was from a friend who's husband is in the military. After a long deployment, he's recently come off rotation and was allowed to go visit family in Turkey on his way home from active duty.

halleyscomet mentioned in passing that it would really make my day if her husband brought back some Salep.

Yes, that's right, there's now 100 grams of Salep waiting for me somewhere in Florida. Traditional recipes say that I should only need 2 grams per recipe.

I foresee a small comparison taste test party in my future. Hope that some of you will be able to come join me to see how accurate my faux molecular gastronomy version is compared to the real thing......

JB, Kimberly, Sam,
I especially look forward to hearing you laugh your collective heads off when you see this......

Missing nightguard

My nightguard has gone missing. It looks vaguely like an orthodontic retainer (but isn't), and is likely in a round, hard black plastic case. I suspect I left it in one of the upper left-hand cubbies in the men's room. If anyone is still on site and sees this, please check in the men's for it and let me know. Many thanks!

Some kidstuff missing.

I know there'l be a lost and found - but just in case this stuff got mixed up in other people's gear, or folks saw it around, we're missing:

* An overnight toiletries bag - black canvas, has toothbrush and toothpaste and hairbrush in it, probably kid-flavored toothpaste.
* A pair of size 7 kids brown sandles

Thanks! Had a GREAT con :)

My photos are here.

A few of my favorites: ( behind the cut. )

Looking at other people's photos, I find I have camera envy. The vast majority of my shots this year came out blurry. sigh.
