Lo, these many weeks ago, I mentioned that I might be going to Seattle and Salem, OR. It looks like this is finally actually happening. If anyone is interested in getting together in the Seattle area (I'll actually be in Redmond and Whidby Island) June 18-24, please let me know. If anyone's near Salem, OR, I'll be there the 16-17. My profile addy is good. Plei, I've already emailed details to you.

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 never post here, and I got a new job, so I thought I would. I'll be starting my first full-time job in the for-profit sector on either 6/27 or 6/29.
LA-istas: A friend of mine in LA has rescued 4 feral kittens (he describes them as "absolute fuzzy love bombs"), and is looking for homes for them. If anyone is looking for a new cat, or knows someone who is, go here and say so. [link]

'Tis very early but I'm shitty at keeping secrets.
As of this morning, it looks like Owen's going to be a big brother.
I'm now a college graduate.
It's kind of a weird feeling.
I have several nice pieces of size 6 work clothes (including suits) that I was gonna put up on ebay. I thought I'd offer them here. I can send folks pictures if you are interested. profile addy.
My dad had to be taken to the emergency room last night for abdominal pains and was sent home at 4:30 am on sedatives/painkillers. The tests for serious stuff all came back clear, so the doctor thinks it's probably either a pre-ulceric condition or gastritis. (Dad's high-risk for the latter between having acid reflux and taking aspirin daily.) He hadn't woken for the day as of the last update , so we don't yet know if the pain is continuing today. Any good health-ma would be greatly appreciated.
Good-parenting-ma requested. Long story short, my 16 yr old got arrested for the 3rd time yesterday. I'm so numb over it, I can barely think.
I'm going to be dark-gray for a bit. New job is very satisfying but is all-consuming. Best wishes to all of yez.
