Flowers from the garden. If you move along the photostream, there's a couple shots of the vegetable garden, and then into Maxicon. If you pursue the photostream, you will be lead swiftly downhill into a morass of perversion and insanity. Fair warning.

Maxicon post to follow. If you want to see the maxicon photos in the correct order, wait for that post, and/or click on the Maxicon Set in my flickr.

Maxicon

All hail popepat! The only pope that has any hold on my allegiance. And of course, we must hail his wife and child as well. For once again, the papal residence was opened up for Maxicon. The sights, sounds and (yes) smells of a hard-working gaming con on the road is not for a host who is faint of heart. But Pat is large of heart, Elly has a surplus (if not an infinite supply) of forbearance, and Tanya is her father's daughter in more than the tautological sense. I sense the effect of sleep deprivation in my prose, so I'd better just get into it.

If you like pictures better than words, here they be.
