Well, personally, I kind of want to slay the dragon.

You know, we could experiment and cancel football.

Any interview-ma sent toward the Bay Area tomorrow (afternoonish) would be very much appreciated. It is pretty much my dream job. Thanks.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Going dark until Monday while I attend a Theremin Convention outside London.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

My cat Puss in Boots died last night. Her health had been going downhill quickly, so I guess it wasn't completely unexpected. It's still painful, though, as I had her most of my adult life.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

My little outpatient thing is back on for Monday afternoon. A little positive "It's nothing"~ma would not go amiss. And some no-freak-out in public thoughts, if you can manage them. Thanks.

Punishingly Intricate

Hey! I also have a little outpatient thing on Monday. In the morning. And this:

A little positive "It's nothing"~ma would not go amiss.

would also be welcome for me too.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

Health~ma for my step-dad would be appreciated. He's back in the hospital with several abcesses. There may also be some other thing wrong.

At least he's in a local hospital this time, and not stuck out of town.

Update to the above. Turns out that it's not just abcesses. Glen also has a staph infection. No word if it's the drug-resistant kind or not.

Lots of ~ma requested. Thanks.

The procedure was postponed, again, so we could get more detailed films, and judging from them, determine if we really need to go there. Yeah, we really do need to go there. So it's on for Thursday.

Thanks for the ~ma through all this, guys. And maybe on Thursday, back it off just a little? I'd like to get all the way through it this time, and have it behind me. Thanks!
