I'm going back to full-time employment starting today, so I expect to be dark gray for at least the next few weeks as I adjust to my new schedule.
Hey, preaching to the choir. I thought our Lady of the Perpetual Sea Breeze was the real deal until the Divine Miss J walked right through that door and right into my ass—which is where my heart is…physiologically. I could show you an x-ray.

HUGE congratulations to NoiseDesign, who just tonight won an LA Ovation award, complete with fancy statuette and ritzy ceremony at the Orpheum. He was nominated for sound design in both large and small theatre and won large theatre. This is a big deal, and I'm incredibly proud of him.
Plus? Acceptance speech in a kilt. Dude.

Bartleby has broken off half of his major molar. I can see a spot of blood, which must mean an exposed nerve. That's gotta hurt.
Plus? He's already had the other major molar removed...two years ago...that one broke too.
Please. Less pain, great new doggie dentist, please, Godless expensive but just as good care, quick appointment ~ma. If there is any to spare.
A little guilt reduction ~ma for me too, please. I gave him the bone...

Jilli is back from surgery. All is well, she was in and out of surgery in under an hour. She's still groggy and will probably be doing her birthday celebrations this weekend.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Request for interview~ma.
I have a phone interview at 5:30 my time (3:30 Pacific) for a position in one of the bank offices out in SF. I really want this, so that I can make the transition/move with a minimum of worry. So please, send good thoughts and "don't babble too much"~ma toward me then.
Thanks!

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
My cell phone commited ritual sacrifice by throwing itself out of the car and under my tires. It's tragic but I should have a new one maybe Monday-ish. Until then, email?
Also available on DebetEsse's cell until late-ish Sunday morning.
Memorial services are ambivalent until I determine how recently I backed up. If I didn't lose anything, we can bow our heads in thanks.

Releasing pet health ~ma back into the wild.
Bartleby's oral surgery ended up being much more complex than anticipated. He went in for one broken tooth, but the docs found a jaw abscess and took out two.
He's still in pain, but recovering nicely. What a relief. Many thanks for all good thoughts.
