Looks like you got your tail tied up on that box behind you!

You know that trick where you hold a finger in the knot while someone else ties the bow? Well, this experiment didn't work as planned. :)

Honestly I don't fault you for not remembering names this was drawn in the year I was born so that was... a super long time ago lol

Yip, you sent me this one, too. ^^ It contained a long letter about your (and Rod, Ken and André's) visit to Camusfeàrna, a mention of something called 'WorldCon', and 'wearing our tails' there. Tails? Hmm! Little did I realize then that I'd be wearing a tail of my own at 'cons' someday. ;)

I suppose 36 years does seem like a long time...

We ended up visiting Camufearna twice, Once in 1987 and again in 1996 for the Worldcon in Glasgow. We also visited Portmeiron in Whales, where The Prisoner was filmed.

Here we are at Pormerion in 1987. One of the best pictures my camera timer ever took! This was my pinned picture on that other site. Bluesky doesn't do pinned posts.
