No Smoffing Zone Today

I was originally going to write about a topic many of you have heard before: Why Worldcon memberships cost so much more compared to similarly sized genre conventions. But as I started to compose it, I decided that my time would be more profitably spent relaxing and reading in my house, something I don't do often enough. And as I'll be in the Bay Area for the next two weeks (leaving Fernley on Sunday), I won't have the chance to do it for a while either).
