As you may have guessed….
No WorldCon for me, alas.
a) the cost… between plane fare to San Antonio and hotel room and membership — just too expensive at the moment (working reduced hours, remember) ….
b) the time… if I had tons of time, I could take a cheaper and slower method of getting there (driving! )Â But I do not have that much time….
Ah,well.
However!  Next year in London! I already have my membership for WorldCon purchased and socking away the money for the trip and extended stay in Great Britain…
So, to recap:
That covers it…
