WORLDCON IS GOING WELL
Figured I'd stop in and give a few post on Worldocn. This is the end of day number two of it and I have been enjoying myself greatly. There is a lot to do and so I have been keeping busy and the days have been going by too fast. I've gotten a few autographs and met a few people who have inspired me...

JUST WAITING FOR THE WORLDCON NOW
It starts this Wednesday and I am really looking forwards to it. We've not had a Worldcon out here since 1982., For those not into the sci-fi world, this is a big thing. It is where the Hugos are awarded (Kind of like the Oscars of the sci-fi/fantasy writing world) and if you are a member of the...

NOW IS THE TIME TO FOCUS ON MY GRANDMOTHER
I really find it interesting that after the recent issue here that tried to paint me as some cruel kid who goes off and attacks 'nice little old ladies' I am writing this post. With my grandfather dead as a family we need to be focusing on my grandmother's needs. She and my grandfather were married...

MY GRANDFATHER HAS DIED
It had been a good day really. We had a nice little barbeque with our friends. Xeno and his wife, as well as my step-niece were there. It was the kind of thing I needed after the stress of the last few weeks. So after thing calmed down my mother called with the news. Even after knowing it was going...

THE OLD MAN IS BACK IN TOWN
Xeno_x is in town for visit. Most likely he'll be blogging some from my sister's house, where he is staying for the first part of the week. He seems glad to be back out here to see the grandkids.

There is less than a month to go before we get the World Science Fiction Convention, known as the Worldcon, out here in Colorado. My guess is there are many who have no idea what this is. Here is the official page for the World Science Fiction Society. And here is the page for Denvention 3,...

THAT DID NOT LAST LONG AT ALL
Everything with my grandfather had seemed to settle down again, with him getting a whole bunch of new medication after a week log hospital stay and some real psychiatric evaluations. Looking at his pattern, we should have had a few months before he started it all up again and tried to starve himself...

THIS WAS ONE OF THE HARDEST DAYS OF MY LIFE
I spent all afternoon at the hospital doing what I could to help. My grandfather had been admitted on Monday and he was on an IVs to get him rehydrated. He was suffering from acute kidney failure and that time. This morning started off really nasty, with him being violent and aggressive. That was...

LOOKS LIKE I HAVE A LONG DAY AHEAD OF ME
My mother just called and she needs my help with my grandfather. There is a lot more to it now than my post from a few days ago, but I don't have time to get into it here. It is my day off and I have no reason as to why I cannot be there to help out. So I am done here for now and will most likely...
