“Iâ€™m cruising to Alaska with James Randi instead.”

Strictly speaking, Vancouver to Vancouver is sailing by Alaska, or through Alaska, but not to (which is forbidden by obscure international shipping laws).

Aw, I’m just jealous ’cause I’ve lived in Alaska for 25 years and I’ve never been to the Panhandle.

Phil, you’ll be missed at D*C this year.

I’m actually having to pay to go this year for the first time in the 21st century.

Do I recognize the wall of they Hyatt behind you?

Anyone who’s going to D*C this year, go see Rocky Horror on Sunday night, it’s my old cast and they rock.

Too bad I can’t make it this year. At least I saw posted a debate between the Skeptic track and the X-track. I keep forgetting things like that get included under “Science Fiction”. While the “fiction” part seems appropo, the rest of the moniker seems wrong.

Of course, they should probably avoid having a cross with the Wrestling track. “Smackdown” indeed.

Phil,

I am not happy you will not be at Dragon*Con this year. My nephew in California (Hi Daniel) told me about BA and keeps me up to speed on developments. But for those of you BA afficianados who will be at Dragon*Con 2007, I hope you will find time to come by either the Exhibit Halls or the Dealers’ Room and say hi. I will be the old fat man in suspenders tearing out what little left of his sanity.

And Phil, we want to see you back in 2008 along with everyone who follows Bad Astronomy. We will see if we can arrange for some as-attractive floral designs to be available for you to pose with.

We’ll miss you, Phil. We’ll make sure to post many photos so you know just what you’re missing.

… and as for permission (”kitchen pass”) to do stuff like this, it doesn’t work like that. Mrs. BA and I talk over upcoming stuff and try to work out what I can do and not do depending on timing, cost, etc, just like anything else.

As far as the cruise goes, it helps that I’m taking her too.

I’d like to thank cimwwdc for finding a small bug in my code that was messing up my layout in Safari. It was subtle, but he found it! So thank you very much!
