Nora Jean was born on January 28 at 1.30 in the afternoon weighing 8 lbs. 3 oz. The Blue Eyed Boy is very impressed with how "tiny" she is.

She has a round little punkinhead, very wise eyes, and an extremely poor sense of timing - who'd choose to come into the world on a day with -40 (Celsius) temperatures and -50 windchill!

Going dark grey to black for the next little while, as we all adjust to the new family member.

OK, due to my ATM card not being accepted, I've managed to miss the bus I was taking to NYC. this is not a huge deal, as I can get a later bus, but the friend I was staying with tonight is going to a concert, so I'm afraid if I get there later than planned, she might already be on her way there. Any NYCistas wanna hang out tonight? I'm hoping to be there around 7:30...

My cell # is now deleted!, and I'll have to come back and delete this as soon as I get back to a computer, I suppose (unless an admin wants to/could delete it this evening?). Gimme a call, or else I shall just wander around aimlessly on the streets of NY. :)

Hullo! I just wanted to let ya'll know that I'm back in the States safely from Rome, in Cincy, after having a wonderful time. Were I not so exhausted and jetlagged I would extol the virtues of one Ms. Stephl and her lovely abode, but I'm really pooped and thus go onwards to sleep. I'll have many, many pictures up soon for those who'd like to see them (I took over one thousand). Ciao!

Just got news that my sister-in-law has been diagnosed with lupus. She's in her thirties, and has a blended family of six kids, including an infant. My father-in-law has had lupus for many years, and it has had quite an effect on him. We're upset to think that what he's been struggling with for so long is now her struggle too.

My sister's sister in law has just been diagnosed with MS ( two of the three markers have come back positive ) . L leads a very active life. So far her symptoms are mild. She is doing research to decide which drug to go on . A little extra ma~ headed towards Colorado please.

I am logging out for about ten days, for more hospital fun. Everybody be well. BTW: My article on TV-on-DVD influencing studios should be in the Star Tribune (Twin Cities) variety section Sunday next. Buffista Board (and others) are mentioned in 'graphs about online fan efforts. Thanks to everyone who pitched in.

Big Ass Shiny Lawfirm (for which I did a reverse commute for a month and then interviewed for three times and then did not hear from for two months) called this morning and requested my presence for the week.

If this goes well I could be nicely employed by Valentines Day.

Any Nothing-Short-of-Perfection-ma that can be sent to NYC is probably critically necessary (if only to stop me from having a coronary)

::mwah:: and see you all soon

Could I have some unspecific-ma for tomorrow afternoon, Pacific time? Thanks very much, and sorry for the veiled posting.

I really need jobma. There's nothing specific going on, hence the need for ~ma. So if anyone can spare some just send it my way.

I got a pretty from Amyparker! Wheeeeee! Now I just have to figure out when and on what I can wear it...
