I am home from several delightful days in Montreal; somewhat short on sleep (staying up till 1:30 or so talking, two different nights with two different people, will do that even aside from my difficulties sleeping in a strange and narrow bed), very glad to have seen papersky, rysmiel, and zorinth and to have met adrian_turtle. Tomorrow I start a new freelance/temp gig. Will catch up sometime, but likely not for a few days.
