Birth, death, illness, new job, vacation...if it's happening to you and you want us to know about it, post it here. These threads are intended for announcements only. Want to offer sympathy or congratulations, or talk about anything? Take it to Natter. Any natter here will be deleted.
I believe our favorite tag-catcher was only in the northern part of India, but it's a little nerve-wracking to not know for sure. I just wanted to let everyone know that he's expected back on the 10th. Safety-ma to him and to his family, please...
The reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated.
(I was, indeed, clear on the other side of the country. Sorry to have caused worry!)
I'm now moved into my new place and will be having a house warming party on Saturday January 15th.
As opposed to posting all the directions and such here, if you're in the area and would like to come, drop me an e-mail and I'll send you the information.
For those who were curious about my thing on CBS and missed it, there's a nice article with pictures and quotes and recap at the CBS website.
Attention Chicago area Buffistas!
Fred Pete is in town and we will be gathering to bask in his presence and eat damn good pizza at Gino's East (at Wells and Ontario) at 6:30 pm tomorrow (Tuesday the 11th).
Please let me know if you plan on joining us, just so we can make sure we get a big enough table. I'll try to check my e-mail around 5 pm and I'll leave my cell# in my profile until I get home tomorrow evening.
Will be grey a lot of the time now, I think. Or less present, since the office just implemented some fairly tight internet controls, and there's really no justifiable argument that B.org is "work-related". More's the pity. People looking for me should try my profile address.
Could we get some of that patented buffista -ma up here in the 'More today? My best friend's dad is having open heart surgery at Hopkins this morning. He's a great dad and just an all around good guy. They do the surgery all the time there so he's in good hands and he's in great health (aside from his faulty valve) so it should go smoothly. But it is open heart surgery and it's scary.
I've been darker than predicted, and will continue to be pretty dark for a few days, as we've guests in town and are doing all the touristy things.
I found an apartment! It is in the same town I live in now and it is only $20 more a month than I am currently paying.
My best friend's dad came through his open-heart surgery in fine shape. Thanks for all the well wishes. Now he has another week or less in the hospital and then recovery at my friend's house. And she'll have to survive having her parents living with her for a couple of weeks!
I'm retaking my last qualifying exam tomorrow afternoon. Any exam~ma that could be sent my way would be greatly appreciated.
