Wow! It has been a long time since I wrote one of these...
Please join us at Windycon 50, celebrating Infinite Diversity in Infinite Combinations. We'll be at the Doubletree by Hilton Chicago/Oak Brook, located at 1909 Spring Road in Oak Brook, IL. We're hosting parties both nights from 9PM to Midnight, and an Open House on Saturday from 2-4PM, all in suite #754. Hope to see you there!
Sláinte!

Attention on Deck! The UBS Abandon is pleased to announce that we will be hosting parties at Windycon 2022, both Friday & Saturday nights. We will be open to convention attendees from about 9:30pm until midnight. That's the fun part.
The less fun part. Covid continues to be an unwelcome part of life. As such, we will be requiring that convention attendees wear a mask when not actively drinking. This includes cloth masks, KF94s, KN95s & N95s. Gaiters, buffs and face shields are not acceptable alternatives at our party.
We encourage everyone to get a bivalent booster as soon as they are eligible. A good many of our crew already have & we expect more will before the convention. We also encourage the use of rapid tests on site.
Please join us as we celebrate Breaking the Glass Ceiling & the Women of SF/F.
Sláinte!

Well, I've settled in & I sincerely hope I've found the last of the confetti. Q really put the hard sell on Capt. DuBois. Office smelled like tacos for a month!
The EMH is still hovering at me every time I lift something heavier than the aforementioned confetti. He's absolutely convinced I'll undo his expert surgical repair on my shoulder, which is why I was sporting that terribly fashionable sling at Windycon, for those of you who saw me.
Sadly, we are not going to be able to host an in person party at Capricon 42 either. The current state of the Covid-19 pandemic makes a crowded, in person party unsafe & we try very hard to throw a safe party. We're in the process of looking at what virtual options we can provide. It's frustrating to stay away, but the needs of the many...
Until we can raise a glass together again, Sláinte!

The Q have thrown a wonderful curve ball at me in the past few months. A full taco and nacho bar, mariachis following me around… and well, with that kind of fanfare and dedication – they made an offer I couldn’t refuse.
This will be my last journal entry as the Captain of the U.B.S. Abandon, but it will not be the last you will see of me. I will be travelling the galaxy as an ambassador and doing exhausting inebrium research to report back. It is hard work, but honest. Someone has to bring new inebrium to Barfleet.
Cmdr Anita Drynke will be taking the helm of the Abandon and her crew and I could not be happier that someone with the drive and experience will be taking the Abandon on her new chapter. I look forward to rendezvousing with the Abandon on the regular to keep tabs on her crew.
Now, I must find myself a Mr. Homn and speak to a Betazoid tailor about getting my kaftan collection in order.
