Turns out it really, really broke down and he's started a fundraiser. To quote: "Over the weekend my car died. Got it to the dealer. New battery, starter, and alternator need to be replaced. Doing that leaves no money until mid month." What isn't mentioned is that the middle of the month is shortly before we leave for the World Fantasy Convention. Which is expensive. We *are* going but right now it's going to take me selling off a bit of stock. Which of course I will. Because Michael isn't just my sweetheart. He has contributed so much of his time and effort to WSFA, WFC, even WSFS. Just being there, behind his table of wonderful (and inexpensive) books he's part of our community. And WFC is special. He should be sitting at the bar with people who have been friends for decades, not living off of cold sandwiches. https://www.gofundme.com/f/car-repair-and-storage?utm_campaign=p_lico+share-sheet-first-launch&utm_medium=social&utm_source=facebook Elspeth
