Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

My dad is having a dye test tomorrow to try to determine what's going on with his heart that caused him to have a 'sode last weekend. Can we get some "Let this be nothing-ma?" Spent 12 hours at the hospital today, just hanging around, waiting. My dad is feeling good and is in good spirits, so we're hoping for the best.

My dad had his dye test today and "passed" as much as one can pass that. They think his 'sode was caused by scarring, not any new blockages or damage. This is a big relief as it requires anything more invasive.

He is scheduled to have a defibrillator put in tomorrow, but was told that he may likely get bumped. Thanks for all the support.

Tzepesh, our big boykitty, has been sickly for a bit now. The vet has him on antibiotics, but some ~ma to get the big cat to get back to eating regularly would be wonderful.

“Not dead yet!”

Thing the first: STARS got a great review in the San Francisco Book Review! (It was also duplicated in the Sacramento Book Review, so yay! Two for the price of one!)

Thing the second: I have no idea if the review will be appearing in the print edition but if any of the SF-istas would be so kind as to check (I believe it'll be in the April edition) and be willing to mail a couple of copies to me, I would be forever grateful and would probably send cookies.

Update #Eleventy: My dad's procedure was postponed today, because of lingering infection in one his IV sites. It's now scheduled for Thursday.

Tzepesh is staying at the vet for a few more days while they make sure he's as strong as possible before placing the feeding tube. There is the possibility that this isn't just a bad GI infection, but lymphoma.

not your mom's socks.

hello beep. I love you all and I hate to have to ask this again. But can I get a round of job~ma for DH? He _should_ be fine, his co. thinks he's great, but job~ma needed all the same, sadly for about five weeks. Signed, thanksCompanyIneededthis
