Today in 1845, Scottish con artist Gregor MacGregor died. He spent a great deal of time and energy selling land rights in Poyais, a fertile Central American country just chock full of gold, silver and other natural resources waiting to be claimed...except it only existed in the vastness of his imagination.

Yesterday was philipmcavery's birthday, so we gave him his presents, then took him to RuSan's, a wonderful sushi bar in Charlotte. I may have to drag everyone there during ConCarolinas...

DragonCon is once again accepting applications for guests, so I'm trying again. Wish me luck that they'll want me this time!

Today the Beetle climbed into the car after school and announced that a student in his first-period history class had brought a gun and a knife to school. He assured me no one was hurt and the kid had been "secured" by the school resource officer, then asked how my day had been.

Much less interesting than his, for certain.

I want to say something, but I can't figure out what.

I understand. When the Beetle told me what happened, he was so very nonchalant. I can't decide whether it was amusing or terrifying.
