desperanceTomorrow is a momentous day. It’ll be the first time since we married (and tomorrow, let me tell you, is our fifteen-month anniversary) that m’wife and I have been parted for any significant length of time; and it will also mark my slightly belated participation in that great American custom, being sent away to summer camp.
Specifically, I’m off to Launch Pad, a week-long astronomy workshop for science fiction writers, where we get to play with telescopes and everything. We’ll live in a dorm like days of yore; we’ll be late for lectures and send each other texts beneath the desks; we’ll cure our hangovers by tramping the hills of Laramie, Wyoming, then start the next one brewing; we’ll stay up too late and put the world to rights and argue about philosophy and shoes and such. And writing, and stars. I expect to talk a lot about writing. And stars.
Also, we’ll be talking about it here. Brenda Clough of that parish is also attending, and we’re planning to hotbunk a liveblog, so keep an eye on the BVC blog for daily reports. If we don’t get too distracted, too lost in the wonder of it all…
