\"Pain<\/a>Got to the doctor’s office yesterday and saw the PA. Now I have an Rx for Prednisone. Today is day two. I forgot about the headaches I always get while on the stuff. So far no difference and a few new spots. The itching is driving me crazy even with the cream they gave me.<\/p>\n

It seems that every year I go through a few bouts of poison ivy. This year I thought I had it covered. I bought some great gardening gloves that come up to the elbow (Foxgloves<\/a>). Then over those a regular pair of heavy duty gloves for the hands. The poison ivy started just above the elbow — darned if I know how it got that high because there was barely a 1\/2 before the sleeve of my shirt. This is so frustrating and there weren’t any 3-leaved anythings where we were weeding but there was some suspicious 5-leaved vines and bushy-stuff. I think it’s out to get me.<\/p>\n

\"Gumshoe<\/a>We’re also approaching the end of the month and gearing up to get SFRevu<\/a> and Gumshoe Review<\/a> online with their July issues on the first of the month. It’s shaping up to be two great issues — lots of reviews and a special teaser for next August.<\/p>\n

Hyperion and I will be attending Readercon 20<\/a>, July 9-12 and held in the Burlington Marriott, Burlington, Massachusetts. SFRevu will have a table in the dealers’ room. Ernest Lilley and I will be on programming while Hyperion manages the table. So, if by any chance you’re going to be there, drop by and say “Hello”. When I have more details about my schedule I’ll let you know.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, I’ve got to go put something on these itchy spots before I dig some divots out of myself. Arrrghhh.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
