By sheer wonderful happenstance, I discovered that a very dear fandom friend from my first long-ago days in fandom happens to be living a few miles down the road from me. I had such a sweet and lovely visit with her yesterday, and I'm so grateful! Hoping to see her again this week. The last time we saw each other was about exactly 7 years ago, at the 2016 KiSCon.

...which made me very sad to think that I very well could have been living right down the street from her indefinitely, and never have known it, because I have been TERRIBLE at communicating life events for...about exactly that same 7 year period of time.

So, for any and all fannish friends and connections, we are now in Bernalillo, New Mexico north of Albuquerque—hopefully permanently! (Or at least, very long term.) If you are anywhere near this part of the world, please let me know. I don't want to miss any more chances to see old friends or get to know new ones. (I'll attempt to do some catching up here about life...I hope. Soon.)

Missing my Seattle peeps, but New Mexico really is the Land of Enchantment.

I'm in Cruces. I had intended to be in ABQ for a long weekend the 10th -13th, but then we had to be open the 11th. Boo!

Will get back up there sometime.

Congrats on the move! Hope you'll be happy there, especially now that you've reconnected with your fannish friend. ♥

NM is beautiful. Only place I've ever been lucky enough to see wild pronghorns.

IIRC, we saw them from 40 (east of ABQ) and exited to go back for a closer look. I just love them.

So glad you're happy there!

Congrats on the big move! I wish I was closer but there is a chance I’ll do a vanlife trip nearby and if so, I’ll stop by :)

Awesome! Before you come to Vegas, let me know the dates as I can easily drive there anytime. I’m in LA living in an actual house right now but hope to travel internationally a little next year as well as a vanlife trip or too. Right now my concrete plans are NYC from Dec 21-Jan 3 to visit family. I may go to Atlanta at some point but will fly this time.

Are you planning on coming to Escapade and/or TGIF/F? Would love to see you while you’re in LA if so.
