So it’s been nearly seven months since Dragon Con 2018. As I described back in From The ground Up, I meant to update long before this. In fact I wrote a large chunk of this post in September, to capture some of what happened at Dragon Con while it was still relatively fresh in my head. Then I promptly forgot to finish and post it.

Still, anyone who has read the last few years of posts knows how this tends to go … right after Dragon Con I get distracted by Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years in quick succession.  Last year was no exception.

To make matters worse, my post New Years droid plans were almost immediately derailed by a couple of real life upheavals, and I just haven’t had the mental space or time to do very much. I’ve just been trying to tread water since early January.

I just took a break to attend another con this past weekend, however, so I thought it was well past time to catch up.

So it’s been nearly nine months since Taking Stock, and seven months since Dragon Con 2018.

I meant to update long before this, and in fact I wrote much of this material in July, shortly after the last post.  But I got distracted with trying to get Artie working in time for con, and I’ve been no less so since I returned.
