The other hikers were found/met up with another team about 6 hours after my dad's team went in. Because of the terrain, turning back wasn't an option.
I get confused. I remember everything. I remember too much, and... some of it's made up, and... some of it can't be quantified, and... there's secrets.

Beverly, I'm vibing at you and your family as hard as I can!

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
the authorities are a little jittery about unaccounted for crashed planes in that part of the country, if you know what I mean.Not mentioning that you lost a plane? Not generally big on the law abiding from what I have seen.

Popping in to tell David & JZ how glad I am that everything's ok. That first notice was terrifying, and I'm just glad that y'all are home and the Halloweenie is staying put for the time being.
Huge congrats to Robin, who will forever be Scrappy in my heart, and an even bigger congratulations to Robin's new husband, who'd better realize what a lucky mofo he is.
Also, very sorry to read about Tom Scola's agony. As a Deadwood fanatic, I should point out how (although it's not going to feel like it) lucky we are to live in the age of modern medicine, where people don't use words like "gleets" or die from this sort of thing.

Inadvertently left out vibes for Beverly.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh, Beverly. So many vibes for you and your family.
sara, I'm glad your father is OK.

Per last week's conversation about religion, Salon has an interesting article with Francis Collins of the Human Genome Project online today. Well worth clicking past the ads.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Our office network is down, and this seems to be the only site I can get to (and this one only sporadically). Clearly, TPTB want me to Natter instead of work. Who am I to argue with fate?
I think this weekend wins at Eventful For Buffistas - whew!! So glad that JZ & the Halloweenie are all right, and that Tom got some good painkillers, and YAY for Robin and WBBFDH!
And now, vibing hard for Beverly. Really, really hard.

Now we've really really had our collective share of time in hospitals for a while, right???
