I will be essentially dark from tomorrow through the 23rd as Gary and I travel to San Francisco and Reno.(I'll probably get to check my e-mail from time to time, but not much more than that)
Here is your cup of coffee. Brewed from the finest Colombian lighter fluid.

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

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
We are taking the dog Kato to the vet early tomorrow morning because he has a lump about the size of a martini olive on his upper chest. It feels squishy and could very well be just a fatty tumor. But we're a little worried anyway. So any good, it's-nothing-but-fat thoughts are welcome for the pup.

Fortunately, Kato's lump is just a lipoma (benign fatty tumor). Whew!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Back from Canada. Approximately a zillion posts behind. I took some pictures!

Punishingly Intricate
I have to have some follow-up medical testing done tomorrow and I'm a little anxious about it. Some "it's nothing"-ma would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!!

Because books.
My grandmother died this morning, after surviving the horrible seizures that Saturday night. It was peaceful, and I like to think she's with my grandfather now.
It's hard for everyone, though -- my mom is only child, and my brother is going to the first of the SEAL funerals on Thursday, so any good thoughts aimed our way would be helpful.
Thanks again to everyone for letting me dump that night, too. It was a huge help.

Here I am again, asking for your social networking linkity-link-links in our search for Sassafras. An American University journalism student did a short documentary piece as a project and we'd like as many people to see it as possible: [link]
We are trying to keep her story out there, so that people know we're still looking, and hoping. The temperatures here are lower than they have been, and she may move around more, giving someone the chance to spot her. We don't know if she's tucked into Rock Creek Park, or moved out of the area.
Please post everywhere! Thanks.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
Job~ma at 3 pm EDT today would be very much appreciated. Awesome interview on Tuesday turned into a follow-up phone call 12 hours later, and now the Senior VP of HR wants to have a 40-50 minute call today (having profusely apologized for asking to do so on a Sunday). I really want this to work out; this is a huge step forward in my career.
Thank you!

And it didn't work out, despite an awesome call on Sunday and talk of a full day interview this Friday. They've chosen not to move forward with my candidacy.
I'm really bummed.
