I had a marvelous time at FE this year. I headed for Toronto a few days early, stopping by Niagara Falls on the way. I’d been kicking myself for not seeing the Falls ever since my last visit. Yes, I froze my bear butt off, but am happy that I made that detour.

I stayed with my friend and fellow writer,  Watercollar, for a couple of nights prior to the con. On Wednesday, we were joined by our friend, Paul, and  Dan Lansdowne for a visit to the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum.

I checked into the convention hotel on Thursday evening, where I was greeted by longtime friend,  DaiCymru, who is also a member of the FE staff. Check-in at the con registration desk went very smoothly for me.

I'm not a huge fan of the social events, but I did go to the meet-and-greets for the Aviation Furs and Greymuzzles. Panels were more my thing and I attended two excellent presentations about furry fiction writing by  Wessner.

I swung through the Dealer's Den several times. I was warmly greeted by  Spiderdragon, who designed the covers for my first two Long Division books. Sharing the booth with Valerie was  Utunu who welcomed me every bit as warmly. I was very excited to see copies of his latest book, Tethers Torn, and learn that an e-book version will be available soon.

On Sunday, the final day of the con, I hooked up once again with Dan Lansdowne for visits to Little Canada and Ripley's Aquarium of Canada.

After the closing ceremony, I joined DaiCymru and more excellent furs for a farewell dinner at The Old Spaghetti Factory. A marvelous way to end a memorable FE experience. Thanks to everyone who helped make it so.
