Just got a call from Emily. She's on the road... I'm sure travel~ma would be appreciated.
Um, well, we listened to aggressively cheerful music sung by people chosen for their ability to dance. Then we ate cookie dough, and talked about boys.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020
Okey dokey -
If I could have another pass at the interview~ma abouts 9:30 a.m. Eastern, I'd appreciate it.
Wish me luck, kiddos.

Better late than never...I have, and will continue to be dark-grey for the next while. My Net at home is down, and it's Back-to-School at work, so...
Also, RIP for Pepper, my sweet little Scottie dog, who died yesterday at 7 years old. She was in pain and not getting better and suffered brain damage and didn't know mom and dad. They did everything they could for three horrible weeks, but they let her go yesterday.
She was a GOOD little dog, who helped three little kids get over their fear of dogs by just being her own friendly self, and I will miss her.

Geneva Elise Barrett Childs, born 5:35 this am, 8 lbs 1 oz. My wife was in labor about 4.5 hours, and when her water broke, Geneva was born ~30 seconds later, with no one in the room but me and a very surprised nurse who'd just arrived. I caught her in my arms as she was born, and that was one of the most beautiful moments of my life.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
More good news and a release of the ~ma back into the pool, may it recharge and grow strong.
It's nothing. Thank you all for thinking of me.

If I can request just a little sliver of insurance-ma so that my ex-company's HR department can reinstate my COBRA coverage, I'd be so grateful....

Punishingly Intricate
Someone lifted the screen on one of my front windows during the night (couldn't get in because the window itself was locked) and one of my kind of elderly, strictly indoor cats has escaped. The diabetic one, Swifty. My neighbor says he saw him I guess right before I got up to walk the dog (that's when I noticed he was missing) and tried to put him inside but didn't close the window and he's not in the house. So, please some ~ma for his safe and quick return? I'm pretty freaked out.
