I've written things for Games Workshop, which is based in England, and by now it's habit to use the "correct" British spelling of most things. I live right across from Seattle on Bainbridge Island.

It's just occurred to me, anyone heard from Nimmy lately? We were going to meet up last year, but since it transpired it was the main reason he was coming over, I thought that was a bit daft, I'm really not that interesting in real life (Diane will confirm this). We'll have to sort something out soon, my family's phased withdrawal from southern England is nearly complete which means no chance of meeting next time he's in Brighton.

OK, my plane ticket is purchased and I'm set for Feb 9-12 in Seattle and 13-16 in Portland. I think it'll be easier if you guys can pm me your email addresses and we'll set something up by email.

Now that I have more faith in my ability to navigate over there without plunging into the chilly depths of the Sound (nevermind the time I was aiming for Redmond and landed at Safeco Field), I am all for this. Also I have a new car. Well, newer. Less likely to catastrophically fail, anyway.

You guys should all come here. It's a temperate 74 degrees with a slight breeze. That's practicaly "jacket weather" for south florida!
Besides, you'll be here for whatever the next big scandal/headline is- we're due for something suitably embarassing at a national level....any day now.

I'm in Portland. I've hung round here for years off and on and have never, ever met a Flareite face to face so drop on by.
We just moved here last spring so we still have the "moving to Portland" scoop too. Lived in Seattle ages ago, but hardly know my way around these days.

So I got to meet up with Jonah and Charles in Seattle for lunch (Simon was MIA due to snow), and Jonah showed me around Seattle and Bainbridge Island for three days. Jonah is a walking encyclopedia of Seattle history (among other things) and was a great tour guide.
Here's a picture of the three of us.
I also met up with Toadkiller in Portland. Had dinner at his house and met his wife Alexis, the kids, and the cat and dog. He has a beautiful family and his daughter Morgan was the cutest thing EVER .

The temps hit 0 C yesterday, that's practically t-shirt weather!

Actually, it is rather amusing when you think about it. We go all winter with low low temperatures and then when it hits 0, we're all running around in t-shirts! Then, of course, in the summer, when it gets below 10 the jackets come back out...

There was a comedian on Comedy Central the other night. Very droll, I liked him. They were up in New England, and he had to walk his dog and he looked on the thermometer to see how cold it was, and it was 0�. Farenheit.
Wife: "What's the temperature?" Him: "There isn't one."
