To commemorate a past event, you kill and eat an animal. It's a ritual sacrifice, with pie.

If I only had a brain...

My dad's out of surgery. The Whipple procedure went well, and he only needed half a unit of blood. He'll be in the ICU for the next few days while they sort out his heart medication.

Thanks for all the -ma.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Ma~ma for my mom, a breast cancer survivor who just found out she has a tumor on her ovary and what my be uterine cancer. I'm flying out next week to help her recover from her hysterectomy.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Going dark again...for the holiday. Don't have too much fun without me, please. See you on Tuesday.

Who? moi??

Going dark (and to Baycon) for the long weekend. Will be back to lurking on Monday or Tuesday.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

I'll be at BayCon this weekend, doing panels and a reading or two, in San Jose. Anyone lurking whom I may not know, and who might wander in and introduce themselves, well, I'd be very pleased.

Not having has never been the thing I've regretted most in my life. Not trying is.

Thanks for the house~ma.

My broker just called with the news that they accepted my offer for the house.

Through hyperventilating for the moment, anyway. I'm releasing the house ~ma back into the wild.

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.

Going very gray for the next little bit, as I'm starting a new project. Email addy good.
