Late in the afternoon, it cleared and when you could see the mountains again, the tops were covered in snow. Yes, snow. Here's a pic from today. Those brown areas further down the slopes are the aspens, turning:

weather report
On Wednesday Bram picked me up at the airport in Albuquerque. It was dusk, and it had rained earlier. Amazing low clouds on the Sandia Mountains, more low clouds to the north, and dramatic lightning in the clouds as it got dark. It rained Wednesday night, and all day Thursday — cold (45 degrees) and windy, with all kinds of crazy low clouds obscuring the Sangre de Christo Mountains:

Back
I've returned from the SPX weekend, Monica's staying on a bit longer to visit her family.
Time zone-addled and sleep deprived. And she's got the camera (though I have the cable to connect it to the computer). It was a pretty terrific time. Busy, crowded, a flurry of activity, no time to stop and get one's bearings, a lot of time on our feet. We had a wonderful time catching up with friends in the DC Conspiracy. Met some new creators and visited with some we knew. We sold a few books (and traded or gave away about as many) and learned about how to do it better. We had a blast staying with Jake and Laura, keeping them up far too late visiting, catching up, and getting previews of new work. Erin stopped by on Friday and even agreed to head out with the group afterward. Raph made it by on Saturday for some shopping and some lunch. It all went smoothly, marred by a few logistic difficulties at the end, but overall, a great weekend with some pretty wonderful folks.

Tomorrow, we're off to SPX back in DC, exhibiting with some of our old buddies from the area. Our book of collected Raised By Squirrels has succesfully shipped to Maryland, and so now all we have to do is convince people to buy it.
Our first trip back, it'll be a quick hit. Now that the weird prefs thing seems to be solved with the laptop (not without its share of trauma), we plan on bringing it. Maybe we'll be able to do some updates on the road.
Let the geekfest begin.
