I'm in LA, and it looks nice outside, so Kristin and I are planning to go to the Getty this afternoon. If anyone else wants to come, give us a call! My cell (which I expect I shall take down before we leave, so anyone who wants to stalk me, take note quickly!) is (too late!)
This money, it is too much. You should have some small refund.

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara
This weekend, Greg and I made an offer on a house. Today, the agent called and told us that the seller considers it "a very solid offer." There's a problem with an assessment against the house by the city that has to be sorted, but it's 99% likely that we have a house.
Over a month ago, buffistas got together and gathered some funds for this project. That money will be paying the home inspectors next week.
It would have been awfully hard to do this without you and we are so very grateful. Come visit us in Cleveland and hang out in the Buffista house anytime. You're all more than welcome.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Our wings are not tired
Pictures from The Getty with Meara, Aimee, Kristin, and Emeline.
It was an amazingly clear day out so there are a ton of pictures.

And I have a couple more...the last few here (anything with a "getty" tag, though technically a couple were taken at home)

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
Corporation-wide reorg.
I just got laid off.
I'd appreciate much jobma and if any Bay Area Buffistas have good leads, please let me know.

Quick update: My surgery went well and recovery seems to be going just swimmingly so far. Still need to wait on the final pathology report to determine whether any further treatment will be necessary. Again, I'm hoping not, but...
Am seeing the doctor on Monday to get destapled and go over the path report.
I feel physically way better much more quickly than I'd guessed, so a big yay for that. Thanks for all the -ma, everyone.

Following Jen's good news, some more good news: I just got an e-mail from Wolfram:
Baby girl born last night, 7 lbs / 19 inches. Mother and baby are doing well, thank G*d.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I have just accepted an offer for a medical writing position at a small pharmaceutical company in the Bay Area. I will be moving in either March or April, but I begin work next week.
Thanks for the job~ma. It is released!

Well, the final pathology report came in, and I will have to have a course of chemo and radiation. Turns out it was Stage II endometrial, and some of the lymph nodes removed had the bad cells.
Starting chemo next week for two rounds, then radiation for five weeks, then four more rounds of chemo.
Think this should be it for the Beep Me posts, but, again, thanks to everyone for all the -ma. To quote another buffista... it means a thing. Truly.
