Do you care if it's male or female? With the death of Gary Gygax I'm fondly remembering my D&D coloring book (Troubador Press I believe, they were great books) and I have a particularly good image of a Night Hag. Actually, I think I'm in the wrong mythological region. A Shade? Well, I guess countering with an incubus is too predictible. Do you care if it’s male or female?

But I'm locked into non-iPhone cell service Hell for another year, so I thought I'd get an iPod Touch, but they don't have BlueTooth. I have a BT car stereo that enables me to answer my phone through the car. Now, instead of having the blue flashing light on an earpiece, I lean towards the dash and talk. So instead of looking like a crazy talking to myself while I'm driving, I look like I'm having a conversation with my Jeep. And of course, sometimes I do anyway. It keeps the lines of communication open. I want an iPhone!!! But I’m locked into non-iPhone cell service Hell for another year, so I thought I’d get an iPod Touch, but they don’t have BlueTooth.

I love my iPhone. If you don't want one, don't ever hold one in your hands. Once you do, you're doomed. But then you get lots of Good Times Ahead so it all works out.

Is the GAM also going to be at the conference? I didn't see him listed among speakers, but maybe he's just going to schmooze, soak up the conference atmosphere and test his statement about movement drawing fire. :-) Jenny, I’m looking forward to your talk at NINC in a couple of weeks.
