1. On the road again
   Scalzi just can’t wait to get on the road again
   The life he love is makin’ books with his friends
   And he can’t wait to get on the road again

2. Hope you liked Albuquerque!

3. Bon voyage, and I hope you’re warmly welcomed back by all your fine feline family!

4. I flew a United Express flight in one of those little regional jets (like that depicted Bombardier CRJ series jet) and have never been so claustrophobic…and seriously concerned about the kind of logjam that would result in the event of an emergency evacuation. Narrow aisles, narrow seats, low head clearance, and especially the ultra-narrow bottleneck at the primary entry point in/out of the plane, between the lavatory and the first port-side row of seats. I vowed then and there to avoid any future flights on that type of plane again (and haven’t had to, knock on wood).

5. Nice one!

6. I just got back from vacation; I was in the Yukon while WorldCon was going on. I’m glad you enjoyed San Jose; I live there and downtown has become a great place to be.

7. Our kitten doubled in size between his first two visits to the vet, at 8 and 12 weeks he was 2 1/2 and 5 lbs, respectively. He’s still gaining an ounce a day at 15 weeks old. He’s going to be a big boy.

8. Hoping Smudge doesn’t give Scalzi the “who are you” look.

9. Ohio has agreed to let you back in.

10. @Peter — a can of tuna will take care of _that_ problem.

11. Writing is a very secluded activity. Therefore it’s not amazing that most writers have every now and then an urge to break out. It allows them them to reconnect with the world and to revitalize their minds.
