Okay. I'm off. I'll be out of town through the 2nd, back online on a regular basis on the 3rd. Anybody needs me, e-mail me. Or poke shrift, and she'll e-mail me. (Considers the fact that she just invited the entire board to poke shrift. Runs away before shrift gets back.)

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 don't post often but I'm overflowing with announciness, so forgive, please:
My nephew, Dominic, was born on Dec 24th. 7 lbs, 7 oz, about 18 days early. (He just decided he was done cooking, I guess.)
I'd arrived about 10 hours earlier, meeting SIL for the first time.
My little brother is schmoopy happy. So are we.
I've just applied for a job that would constitute a major improvement in my life. Please send Buffista jobma vibes my way.
Thanks
Gar
I blog at:
If you're bored, read about the vagaries of the bus-riding life in Los Angeles and all about my thoughts on the latest movie debacles.
I am back home in Dallas. I can't even hope to catch up. Buffistas, as always, have been fucking cool throughout.
Thanks guys.
I've gone grey for the weekend. My evil twin's crappy connection is even more crappy than I remember.
My paternal grandmother died in her sleep last night.
She'd had health problems for much of the year, so it wasn't exactly shocking. I got to see her one last time at Christmas, well worth it in spite of all the other family weirdness.
My grandma was a very kind & sweet woman. Even when expressing concern over her mtf lesbian daughter, she was patient and never raised her voice. That probably came from the certainty that God was on her side. Still, she was a sweetie and I'll miss her a great deal.
Apologies -- the above post should have read "mtf lesbian granddaughter."
