It doesn't matter how many stories I edit, I always have four stories to go. Sometimes it's six, but just when I think I've got it below four, another story appears in my in-box. This last month, only one of those stories has been mine.

Not everything obeys this strange little law. I don't have four reviews to go. Only three.

I don't have four books to read, either. I have three piles. Or rather, I had three piles. The pile in my bedroom toppled and is creating modern art on my floor. I picked up the top book and ruined the work of art, but it was worth it to find good reading.

I just realised. I tend to read four books at a time. Lots of good things come in fours.

Every time I read the draft Progress Report for Conflux, something makes me realise that Confluz has subtle differences to most other Cons. Lots of SF conventions have banquets. We're the only one that has a banquet cooked by a well-known chef with a history of kangaroo wrangling.

The progress report will be out soon. Roo wrangling is featured.
