Hi! I am back from beach! Have been back for a week, actually, but have been suffering under the misapprehension that I will get pictures in a state that I can post them, so have not updated yet.

Beach was great.

Also for reasons that don't need exploring at this juncture, I have gotten the collection of Nat Geo maps out of the attic and cataloged them. We have over half the maps published between 1955 and 1995, *not even counting* the ones currently serving as wallpaper in my bedroom. (which I have not cataloged yet.)

Someone convince me I don't need to try to be a completist and collect the rest. Please.

MORE IMPORTANTLY THOUGH:: Archive of Our Own was ONE VOTE SHORT of being a Hugo Award finalist this year????

I kinda want to sign up to vote again to see if we can actually get it all the way through next year, but Hugo voting is hard work and I have all that FMK to get through anyway. :/ (Also Le Guin's last collection won that category, and deserved to. Still! I came within a hair of having something I sorta helped work on be a Hugo finalist! That's within a hair of sorta getting something off my livelong wildest dreams list.)
