the panel was intesting to say the least.  Very different from the AX
panel.  All sorts of advice and such from different authors.  It was
interesting to note that authors in the audience said as much as the
panelists did.

Sounds interesting, and a great deal different from the panels I run.  I
wish I could have seen it.  Still, from your description, it sounds almost
more like a workshop than a panel.  I'd personally be disappointed by there
being no non-writers in the audience.  One of the benefits of being on a
panel is interfacing with your readers...

True, unfortunately the lateness of the arrangements made it hard to
attract a diverse crowd.


Peter has mentioned he's going to try and arrange it more than a week in
advance next year and maybe we can get a longer time.

     Kasumi found her father cradling her mother in his arms. He
had run out of tears to shed long ago, but the expression on his face
told the story.
     After several minutes of silence, Soun asked with a scratchy
voice, "Kasumi dear. Will you please say goodbye to your mother?"
     "Of course, Father," Kasumi said. She stood up, took one of her
mother's hands in her's, and said a soft, "Goodbye, Mother. I'll keep
my promise."
