A Fantabulous Weekend with Loving Wife (and Kevin Hearne)

It's been a while since I have posted, so as I sit by myself in a hotel room in Las Vegas (damn you Blackjack gods for making it a short night!), I thought I would fill you in on what was a weekend of fun and relaxation that Loving Wife and I will never forget.

Waaaaay back in the late spring/early summer, one of my favorite authors, Kevin Hearne, announced that he would be having a release party in Mesa, AZ for his newest book (mandatory and well deserved plug: here is the link to the Iron Druid Chronicles starting with HOUNDED--go get it. No, right now. I will wait.)

Well, seeing as a) I really like Kevin Hearne and b) Loving Wife and I hadn't been on a 'getaway' weekend for many moons, I woke up at 545am on a Saturday morning* and purchased two tickets to the release party. This was done with a bit of hope and wishful thinking, for as I had read and enjoyed all the books, Loving Wife had not and there was no guarantee she would like them.
