I have posted a request for beta testers (parents or soon to be parents) on my LJ. This is a work thing. My LJ user name is msbelle also.
In addition, if there are parents whose children play softball, baseball, soccer, or football - and who would be willing to be a feedback person for me on my work stuff, please email me.
Thanks.
I am booked to headline “Crooners & Songbirds” at Wilde Oscar’s in SF on Thursday, April 13. I was looking forward to this boffo gig accompanied by “Mr. Swell” himself, Tony Marcus. Unfortunately, Wilde Oscar’s has been sold and the new owners are making rumblings that they might not honor prior commitments. Nothing's settled yet, but I wanted to give you a heads up. If you have suggestions of alternate venues we could book at for the same night, please let me know via email to my profile addy. I will post updated news as soon as I have it.
Very many thanks for all the job-ma!
I have just accepted a position at a school in Thailand for next year.
releases -ma back into the wild
My 100+ year old church just burned down early this morning. As far as I can tell, there's nothing left except some stuff from the AA group that met in our undercroft that blew out the window. A house next door was also also completely destroyed, but there were thankfully no injuries. The artistic community were heavy users of our church building and one local theater group stored all of their equipment, stage, costumes, etc., lovingingly created over many years, there. Strength, courage and unity ~ma for the church, artists and the whole community would be greatly appreciated.
Just got home safe and sound from the trip to Michigan and found an e-mail waiting. My aunt passed away this afternoon. Could I get some peace- and serenity~ma for my aunt's family? Thanks, all.
Just now as I was sitting here, I realized that today marks my second Buffistaversary.
To say that being a member of this board has changed my life is a vast understatement. Thank you for being my people.
Good news, in a cruddy-sounding way: My mother has finally left that thing she was married to. Whole family are pitching in to help her out. ~ma appreciated in finding her a new apartment, and the legalities and finances of disentangling herself from him.
ETA: Stepfather not natural father, in case that was unclear.
If anyone has some health~ma to spare, I'd appreciate you sending it my dad's way. He's been in the hospital since last night complaining of chest and midriff pain, nausea, and sporadic fever. They've thankfully ruled out heart problems, but we're waiting to hear back about some tests to see if the trouble might be with his liver or gall bladder.
Seems minor, but I just came home from work and found our cat, Patches, dead. She was very old, and had been failing for a while, but still.
