We've suffered a break in. I'm not home yet, Lisa's surveying the damage.

Been there, had that done to us. I hope the losses are not too heartbreaking.

Do you by chance ever attend ICON in Iowa - you look familiar?

Thou speak'st aright;
I am that merry wanderer of the night.

Haven't missed an ICON (http://www.mindbridge.org/icon/) since ICON 4; married Cicatrice, the co-chair* of that con.

Will you be at ICON next weekend?

*She says ICON didn't have a "chair": it had a divan. That's okay; I think she's divine anyway.

First: apologies to J for hijacking your serious thread

Second: Yes, we will be at ICON. In fact we have booked a party room and will be having a "Lucky 13" party Friday night. It is Friday the 13th which is cool. It will be the 13th anniversary of our engagement which is cool. And it is ICON 31 which is 13 backwards - what isn't to love. JMac went to ICON when in grad school at Ames so we go back when we can. See you there!

Damn. I am glad nobody was hurt, and hope they didn't get anything too truly valuable.

One laptop, mostly valuable for the data, which was backed up as of August 13. (Missing: Probably one zine which Lee Gold might have electronically, some email, most perhaps recoverable from recipients. This is presuming I did my back up right.)

One Nokia tablet, which I never used, hence left at home.

One broken digital camera.

Some amount of cash. Guestimating $150, of which at least a third was Sakajawea dollars, annoying primarily because I liked having a hoarde o'golden coins.

Broken door. Very annoying.

Peace of mind, which is likely to recover faster once we have a working door, preferably one which locks, but, well, it's not that peace of mind isn't something of an illusion anyway.

All in all, we were very, very lucky. No one was hurt, though Dad pointed out that the correct move on seeing the apartment broken into was probably not to walk in at once.

"It could be worse" is limited, but real, consolation.

I like the way your mind works!!!!

I'm sorry to hear this bad news for you and Lisa, Josh.

I know how disheartening it is to have one's private space violated.

Oh, NO!!! I hope that the material losses are trivial, and that your lives return to normal as quickly as possible....

Oh no!!!!

Sorry Lisa lost her laptop. Goddam it!

At least they didn't take her copy of EPL. :)

EPL? Empire of the Petal Throne?

Seems to be right there. Oh, whoever it was ripped open the envelope that came with Shab al-Hiri Roach, but, as far as I can tell, left roach and cards intact.

Sorry to hear this, hope the damage (to place and confidence) is minimal. Hugs to you both.

Ouchie! Do you have renters/owners insurance?

Yes. Been talking to them.
Thanks.

Ouch. I'm glad you're all OK; wish it hadn't happened in the first place.

I am slightly behind on journal...
