We had a fabulous FogCon, seeding new friends among the old, that way you do; and then today we came home and had a late dim sum lunch in Mountain View, grabbing friends who were conveniently just down the road getting their toesies painted pretty and snatching baskets from the very last trolley to go around. And as we left one of the staff asked me if I knew what my T-shirt said, and we were happy to agree that I did (well, she said "No-crying" and I said "Serenity" and we smiled and nodded at each other).
