Just a note...
I see the website for LosCon 47 - the local Los Angeles science fiction convention - still has me listed as a "confirmed guest." This is no longer accurate. I had planned to attend - I've gone to LosCons since the early 1980s. But a combination of health concerns, holiday family logistics, and simple COVID paranoia caused me to step back from that. The LosCon committee is being scrupulous about masking and vaccine requirements for the convention, but the fact remains that I'm in a couple of Endangered Categories and I'd rather not breathe hotel air just yet if I can help it. My apologies to all.
