I shall have to read this at a quieter moment, probably back home, but good for you to wrestle that recalcitrant muse. (Um, this metaphor is getting both rather biblical and sort of mixed up.)
OT: I was just wanted to thank you again for taking the time to meet me in Cambridge. It was an absolute delight to get to know you in person - really.
After I had also spent two days in great company in London, I flipped open to read The Vorkosigan Companion, which I had bought at Forbidden Planet, to read an essay about Bujold fandom: Not only did it contain the very apt phrase that a meet-up of online fans is "a merry gathering of axe-murderers", but it also quoted Ekaterin's musings on Miles from ACC, that you can judge the quality of a person from the quality of the company they keep.
As much as I'd like to twist that statement into some flattering reflection on me, I can only say that it isn't really true in my case. I'm actually far too blessed with (and probably not quite deserving of) the all the lovely folks I've met online -- and some in RL, too.
Please excuse this loquaciuous outburst of mawkishness all over your comment section. What I forget to tell you on Monday: If you and Mr A. should ever come to my corner of Germany, I'd be most happy to reciprocate. &hearts:
