It's looking like I'll be in Mountain View, CA flying in the evening of August 24th. I'll probably be free Monday-Wednesday for dinner and drinks, but Thursday evening I probably will be zooming down to Atlanta for Dragon*Con.

Lucy came through the TPLO surgery smoothly, I'm told. (We don't get to pick her up until tomorrow night.) Thanks for all your vibeage, I'm sure it helped. I know it helped me.

I'm posting this on behalf of my mom. If you are interested in donating, the deadline is tomorrow (or she won't be able to ride).

On Saturday I'm riding 75 miles with my brother and Team Mellen from the Cleveland Clinic to raise money for MS research. I feel so fortunate that I can do this when so many of our patients can't.

I ride for them.

The National MS Society is committed to building a movement by and for people with MS that will move us closer to a world free of this disease. Donations collected for Bike MS continuously fund research for a cure, while also providing services and support for those currently living with MS.

Please help by making a donation. Join me, and together we can create a world free of MS.

Thrive to spite them

My nephew was born last night! (or this morning, sometime around midnight). The only thing I know is that he was 10 lbs even and that he's very long, also it was a difficult delivery. As of yet no name.

Our wings are not tired.

Total and complete longshot but heregoes:

Does any Buffista have a connection with either of the Indigo Girls? Profile addy would be great, and I'd be extremely appreciative.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

My MiL is undergoing a gamma knife procedure today. Could folks please direct some of those powerful buffista vibes her way? Personally I'm hoping for no more tumor after this is done.

Thanks.

Now I'm going to take Isaac back to bed.

I know at various points some folks have asked if they could get a Diablo Sound T-Shirt or jacket or otherwise. I'm placing an order soon for another run of items before I start work on Halloween Horror Nights. If anyone still wants one send me an e-mail at my profile addy and I'll let you know the cost.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I just learned that my Dad fell, couldn't get up again, and was taken by ambulance to the hospital. Any health~ma available would be appreciated, please.
