Last month, the University of Florida at Gainesville demonstrated wit and a true sense of priorities, when their disaster preparedness webpage was updated to include plans to deal with attacks by flesh-eating, apparently life impaired individuals, or, in other words, zombies.

Alas, news of their zombie defense strategy brought them worldwide attention, and late yesterday the administration ordered the removal of the information. Most commentators theorized that this was a sign that the administrators lacked a sense of humor, but I can only conclude that the zombie invasion has already begun. Clearly the administration building was ground zero for the attack, which by now will be spreading across the campus.

Good luck, Gators! And my best wishes to the Floridians of Gainesville and the surrounding countryside! We'll be rooting for you...

...and stocking up on flamethrowers and chainsaws.

Saw this article in USA Today http://www.usatoday.com/news/education/2008-10-05-zombie-tag_N.htm and immediately thought how much fun this would be at a con.

Though denizens of the bar would probably have the shortest life expectancy, and be picked off on the first night.

Returned from WFC last night where I had a great time. It was the usual WFC chaos--managed to catch up with many people and made new friends, but there were also folks that I wanted to spend time with and somehow never managed to hook up with, other than to wave at them in passing.

Returned to massive amounts of work for the day job, not to mention classwork and oh, yes, the revisions for THE FINAL SACRIFICE are due within the week. Will post more on WFC later, when I can catch my breath.
