Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I'm pre-migrainey (as I am 9 hours out of ten) with a sinus headache.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Well, that's at least better than migrainey, for right now, right?

Oh, it sure beats the alternative.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

I am pitifully at the mercy of the firewalls and blockers on this machine. Could I ask a hyoooge favor of someone? Can anyone copy the text on the Proulx essay and email it, as an attachment, to my profile addy? I offer chocolate, cookies, or the reward of your preference in repayment for this favor.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

See Helen Thomas take on the weasel Scott McClellan.

Helen to Scotty: You know what happened to Nixon when he broke the law.

Rock on, Helen! Here's hoping that the shrub will actually call on you during his next press conference.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

ugh. still.

I thought all was well, but couldn't make it through a shower. No fever though.

I am nibbling on an antacid, because I think that may be the stomach issue at this point.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Go team me -- I got the garbage out before the trucks came!

Hey, I take my triumphs where I can. Also, I'm happy because I didn't have to get up at 5 AM....

Our wings are not tired.

No fevers or migraines today. It's a plan. A good plan.

Insent Beverly. Hope it is what you need.
