For familial health reasons that don't need exploring at this juncture, I will be moving to southwestern Virginia within the next month. I hope to drive, but have not yet decided my route (though I very much hope to go by way at least of Ann Arbor, if not Boston).

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Hey, don't know if this is on the news at all, but there has been a transformer explosion at Grand Central Terminal.
I'm fine. I don't think any of the other New Yorkers would have reason to be there.

As of about 10AM this morning, I am officially unemployed. Shock is in progress, and panic will commence soon. More because there are too many options than not enough, but still! Eep! Applications are being taken regarding where I should move (including "Stay in DC", a position espoused by many RL friends, now-ex-coworkers, and not-girlfriend).

Hey guys. I'm having an outpatient thing done on Monday about 9:30. Could I get a few "It's nothing" vibes and some "Don't freak out like a little girl" vibes, please? Thanks.

A request for a little bit of ~ma, please. Tomorrow morning, very early (before most of you are in bed tonight, probably), nearly-two-year-old Clara is having an operation to clear her left tear duct, which has bothering her pretty much since birth. The op itself should be pretty straightforward, but it does involve a general anasthetic (ugh), so some strong nerves are needed for us parents also. We leave for the hospital in about an hour.

Due to technical problems, the procedure did not take place and is being rescheduled. I'm releasing the ~ma to work on stuff for other people. I may tap it again when I know more, and thanks.

I probably should have asked pre-interview, but I could use good vibes toward my getting this job. It's really the only teaching job available in or near the town I'll be moving to, and it would make life so much easier if they called in the next day or two and said, "You're hired!"

Hey, while you're passing out the interview~ma, I could use some tomorrow 'roundabouts 9:30 a.m. Eastern time.
