DNC Selects Denver for 2008

As you may have heard, the Democratic Party has selected Denver to host the 2008 Democratic National Convention, on dates a couple of weeks after Devention Three. This will have impacts on the 2008 Worldcon. My comments on the matter, based on the discussions at SMOFCon, are on this thread on denvention3, and I suggest others take their comments there as well.

Fine Dining in Fremont

I meant to write about this earlier today, but the breaking news on denvention3 -- not to mention my real job -- kept me busy.

Cheryl is on her way back to the UK today. I took her to SFO this afternoon and she called me about 25 minutes ago to tell me they were boarded and just about to button things up. She'll be back in late March. So last night we thought we might go out and have a nice dinner. There is a restaurant in Fremont that we've seen several times that looked interesting, but that we'd never tried, so we headed off to Papillion, a French restaurant located on Mission Blvd. in Fremont.

And, for what it's worth, despite the heavy meal, I found that I had lost two pounds this morning.
