Timelies all!

Gary and I went to Balticon last weekend. Other than me tripping over my suitcase Friday night and scraping my right knee and right elbow, it was fun. It's kinda funny/strange that the current crisis, while worse than what has happened before, allowed Gary to attend the whole con. Sigh..

Anyone do anything fun over the holiday weekend?

Matilda is home now and we started watching Hacks together.

Last Thursday I attended my friend Jes' drag show at Booksmith. That's always fun.

I'm shopping for a flat/condo for Emmett and his gf and this one is cute and in the right price range so I've requested a tour with them tomorrow: [link]

Feel free to Le Gasp at SF prices but they're actually about to soar upwards after the mega IPOs coming out soon by OpenAI and Anthropic.

I love the kitchen cabinet color in that flat, Hec!

I spent Memorial Day at my sister’s marina with her boater buddies. It was fun. Sunny, upper 70s with a breeze, plenty of food and drink. I’d kinda like to sneak something a little more adventurous into their rotation of bland 70s and 80s pop music, but since I’m getting free brats and shots, that seems a little churlish. Once I’m contributing a bit more, maybe I’ll introduce them to the wonders of Tom Waits.

I sent the link to Emmett and Kalena and Kalena said she'd just been looking at that listing.

Just talked to the real estate agent and we're trying to get a tour tomorrow afternoon.

My friends were in town from Wednesday-today, so I spent a lot of wonderful time with them, watching TV and movies, with a two-day break in the middle to go to my MIL's funeral. So it's been an interesting week.

That place is super cute, Hec.

I tried to tempt my cousin with this one, but I couldn't get him interested.: [link]

7 baths seems excessive.

The teal kitchen is fun, David but yes, gasping at prices. Yikes.

I realized this evening that I am doing dance related things 6/7 days this week (and yesterday I went to the Folklife Festival in town and watched various types of dancing and music and such—the Québécois music jam was very cool). It seems a bit much. But the one I could’ve/would’ve skipped was tonight, and I didn’t realize until after I was there that I was so booked! But the other stuff I have to or really want to do.

Fort Lauderdale condos are all over the map in price. From 300K to over 20M. The cheap ones are generally in buildings with huge maintenance assessments, or about to be hit with them. A lot of our buildings have to be redone to meet newer hurricane regulations.
