voiceless it cries

For the past couple of weeks I haven't been able to say much of anything most of the time. Laryngitis, descending from bronchitis. The malady is over, but the cough lingers on, and that fuels the continuing speechlessness. Some of the time I can get something out, gravelly, but sometimes not. Tiresome, but at least it keeps me off the phone.

Next weekend I'm on eight panels at a science fiction convention - I'm not quite sure how it turned out to be so many, but at least they're all interesting - so I hope I'm able to say something by then. We'll see.
