I'm really being a hog with all the ~ma lately, but I need some more. Any recovery~ma flung to PA would be wonderful. My father had an accident cutting the grass on Saturday and managed to shatter his kneecap and break his tibia in 3 places. Yesterday's surgery to repair everything went well, but he will be mostly bedridden for the next 2 months. If he can't put weight on his leg after that, we're looking at another hospital visit for a knee replacement.

Enough, please. I'm tired.
I'm going to be in Seattle from June 23rd to the 28th. I want to play with Buffistas. I'm pretty much coming up just to hang out and have a good time, no other reason.
Interview~ma for 3 p.m. Central time, please. I'm going for a job I really, truly want and would really, truly be fantastic at.
I'm Great Uncle Dan again.
My nephew (and godson) Rick and his wife have had a baby girl.
Presenting...

Galexie Moon Jensen born around 5am on May 29 to Rick and Tawna Jensen in Sioux Falls, SD. She was 7lbs, 9oz and 20" long at birth.
Start saving your ~ma now, so at 1:15 Eastern time you can send it in one concentrated beam to Northern Virginia where my mom will be entering surgery. Thanks ever so.
Going dark until Monday as I'm off to a wedding in Vermont.
I'm already behind in...everything. I am never going to get caught up again.
Le sigh.
A whole heaping load of wayward-kitty-ma is needed in Somerville, as my sweet, afraid-of-his-own-shadow cat seems to have disappeared. The kicker? Last night he kept me awake with banging his ID tag around, so I took off his collar. If he's outside and lost, no one will know how to get in touch with me.
Kitty found, pitiful and covered in spiderwebs, in the basement. The landlord must have left the door open.
I can breathe again.
Grampa-ma needed, focused towards the Yakima, WA area. So maybe WA-ma. I'll skip the gory details, but despite the Yakima police and paramedics determining that Grampa needs urgent medical attention, he is refusing to let this happen. I don't know what the best outcome would be, but proof against fear and sadness would be good.
Well, I'm just about off to bed to get a good night's sleep before my exam. I'll catch up with you all afterwards.
