Not Bouchercon Bound

This is the day Judy and I would have been flying to Cleveland for the Bouchercon.  Right about now we'd be at Houston's big airport, waiting to board our plane.  This year, however, we won't be going.  As the old saying goes, circumstances beyond our control have prevented us.  Not that the rest of you shouldn't have a wonderful time without us.  Don't forget to buy plenty of books in the Dealers Room and go to a lot of panels.  Hang out and talk. I'm planning to read all about it on various blogs and twitter streams so I can have a few vicarious thrills.  At my age, that's probably the best kind.
