The Worlds of Katherine Kurtz

[Sunday, June 29, 2014] [08:55:40 PM] <DesertRose> The threshold for naming a storm is sustained winds of at least 45 mph and that's been the case for a long time.
[Sunday, June 29, 2014] [08:56:07 PM] <Jerusha> I think we're in a position to hear more about them now
[Sunday, June 29, 2014] [08:56:14 PM] <The_Bee> That's what I thought. When I was a kid, we didn't get past the Es until September.
[Sunday, June 29, 2014] [08:56:17 PM] <DesertRose> The threshold for it becoming a hurricane is sustained winds of at least 75 mph.
[Sunday, June 29, 2014] [08:56:42 PM] <The_Bee> but they name them when they're merely tropical storms.
[Sunday, June 29, 2014] [08:56:50 PM] <KK> Yes, in these days of instant news all the time, we're far more aware of what's going on in the world.
[Sunday, June 29, 2014] [08:57:07 PM] <DesertRose> Yes. Tropical depressions don't get names until and unless they become tropical storms, which is sustained winds of 45 mph.
[Sunday, June 29, 2014] [08:57:36 PM] <DesertRose> And this system that Evie's MIL is so worried about isn't even a tropical depression yet.
[Sunday, June 29, 2014] [08:57:37 PM] <Shiral> But... I ALWAYS name my tropical depressions!
[Sunday, June 29, 2014] [08:57:50 PM] <DesertRose> It might become one, but it isn't yet.
[Sunday, June 29, 2014] [08:58:03 PM] <Shiral> Just got off phone with my MOm. Gotta go meet her and my Uncle for dinner
[Sunday, June 29, 2014] [08:58:09 PM] <DesertRose> Okay, see you Shiral.
[Sunday, June 29, 2014] [08:58:12 PM] <DesertRose> Have a good week.
[Sunday, June 29, 2014] [08:58:15 PM] <Dennis> Bye, Shiral!
[Sunday, June 29, 2014] [08:58:15 PM] <Jemler> nite shiral
[Sunday, June 29, 2014] [08:58:15 PM] <Evie> OK, got to go
[Sunday, June 29, 2014] [08:58:19 PM] <DesertRose> Night, Evie.
[Sunday, June 29, 2014] [08:58:21 PM] <Jerusha> Have a good week, Shiral!
[Sunday, June 29, 2014] [08:58:21 PM] <KK> See you next week.
[Sunday, June 29, 2014] [08:58:26 PM] <Evie> Good night!
[Sunday, June 29, 2014] [08:58:35 PM] * Shiral waves farewell, wishes everyone a happy 4th of July and disappears in a blaze of white fireworks
[Sunday, June 29, 2014] [08:58:35 PM] <DesertRose> KK, are you taking off too or was that at Shiral?
[Sunday, June 29, 2014] [08:58:37 PM] <Jerusha> I should to, too.
[Sunday, June 29, 2014] [08:58:42 PM] <Shiral> BYE!
[Sunday, June 29, 2014] [08:58:43 PM] <DesertRose> Okay, see you, Jerusha.
[Sunday, June 29, 2014] [08:58:52 PM] <Jemler> nite jerusha
[Sunday, June 29, 2014] [08:58:53 PM] Quit Shiral has left this server (Quit: ).
[Sunday, June 29, 2014] [08:58:58 PM] <KK> I'd better sign off, too. But wanted to tell you my health news first.
[Sunday, June 29, 2014] [08:58:58 PM] <The_Bee> bye Shiral and Jerusha
[Sunday, June 29, 2014] [08:59:04 PM] <DesertRose> Oh, what's the health news?
[Sunday, June 29, 2014] [08:59:21 PM] * Jerusha pauses on the edge of her portal
[Sunday, June 29, 2014] [08:59:26 PM] <The_Bee> eye surgery went well, I hope.
[Sunday, June 29, 2014] [08:59:41 PM] <KK> Will be having my cataracts done right after Dragoncon. First eye is the THursday right after, second one the beginning of October.
[Sunday, June 29, 2014] [08:59:51 PM] <Dennis> Excellent!
[Sunday, June 29, 2014] [09:00:00 PM] <DesertRose> YAY! If it's anything like my mom's, you'll wish you'd done it years ago.
[Sunday, June 29, 2014] [09:00:12 PM] <Jerusha> So you will get to review the manuscript first?
[Sunday, June 29, 2014] [09:00:16 PM] <KK> It seems the muscle doc can't seriously consider surgery until the cataracts are out. So at least we're moving in the direction of progress.
[Sunday, June 29, 2014] [09:00:26 PM] <The_Bee> I hope it goes well. I'm sure you'll notice the improvement.
[Sunday, June 29, 2014] [09:00:26 PM] <DesertRose> Ah, okay.
[Sunday, June 29, 2014] [09:00:27 PM] <Jemler> when is dragoncon?
[Sunday, June 29, 2014] [09:00:32 PM] <DesertRose> Labor Day weekend.
[Sunday, June 29, 2014] [09:00:46 PM] <DesertRose> I think.
[Sunday, June 29, 2014] [09:00:49 PM] <KK> Yes, all the proofing will be done by then. It's good timing, gives me the rest of the year to sort out what future glasses, if any.
[Sunday, June 29, 2014] [09:00:50 PM] <DesertRose> Or around in there, anywya.
[Sunday, June 29, 2014] [09:00:53 PM] <DesertRose> *anyway
[Sunday, June 29, 2014] [09:01:02 PM] <The_Bee> That's a long time to wait.
[Sunday, June 29, 2014] [09:01:09 PM] <Jemler> aynwya?
[Sunday, June 29, 2014] [09:01:20 PM] <KK> Just 2 months. And I've got a lot to do in that time.
[Sunday, June 29, 2014] [09:01:22 PM] <DesertRose> It was a typo, Jemler. Even I make them sometimes.
[Sunday, June 29, 2014] [09:01:27 PM] <Jerusha> But better than worrying about have to be "well" before you can review the manuscript
[Sunday, June 29, 2014] [09:01:30 PM] <DesertRose> Yes.
[Sunday, June 29, 2014] [09:02:06 PM] <KK> Yes, seeing is very important. And we can't get any better correction in the left eye until the cararact is gone.
[Sunday, June 29, 2014] [09:02:25 PM] <DesertRose> Ah, I gotcha.
[Sunday, June 29, 2014] [09:02:44 PM] <Jemler> the last ship is on. it has adam baldwin
[Sunday, June 29, 2014] [09:02:47 PM] <KK> So, on that note, adios until next week.
[Sunday, June 29, 2014] [09:02:58 PM] <Jerusha> Have a good week, KK
[Sunday, June 29, 2014] [09:02:59 PM] <DesertRose> Okay, see you, KK. Have a good week!
[Sunday, June 29, 2014] [09:03:17 PM] <Jemler> ite kk

[Sunday, June 29, 2014] [09:04:02 PM] <KK> Yes, off to The Last Ship. Last week was pretty good.
[Sunday, June 29, 2014] [09:04:19 PM] * KK steps onto her Portal, waves goodnight, and disappears in a shower of green sparkles.
[Sunday, June 29, 2014] [09:04:24 PM] <The_Bee> bye KK. thanks for coming
