A year and a half ago, I could have eviscerated him with my thoughts. Now I can barely hurt his feelings. Things used to be so much simpler.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Just got off the phone with Daniel - he sounds so much better. The doctor is not planning to release him yet, but he was able to walk today without screaming in pain. And talking to him, he sounds more like himself. Thank you all so much for your support, and for all the ~ma. We aren't quite ready to release it back into the wild, but that's ok, we can always make more.

Our Anderson Cooper appearance airs today. We have no idea if this will help, or just attract more flamers/grifters to our search.
We shared a dressing room with the cat Willow, a cat who looks like Anderson, the pig and the baby sloth. (The sloth was 6 months old, about 3 lbs and puppy-soft to pet. Everyone backstage was a sucker for the sloth because she had such a sweet face.)
Wish us some good luck.

not your mom's socks.
I'll be mostly grey from this Sunday to next Saturday while I'm at a workshop. I'm a little nervous, mostly about the flight-related getting-there and back shenanigans, but also on general principles. See you on the other side!

Daniel is home from the hospital.
He's taking a nap on the couch with Harvey.
We're releasing 60% of the medical~ma back into the wild, keeping a bit in reserve until he is completely better.
We love you all, and bask in the love you give us.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Some new Ryan photos, including the Sydney trip and the last photos of Wallybee's parents before they returned to China.
The new photos begin here, with our little Jedi: [link]
Our Sydney trip earlier this year begins here, outside the Chinese Gardens of Darling Harbour: [link] Of special note is this pic with his Daddy: [link] This is what we were watching: [link]

Penguins are a recurring theme in our home's decor, and Ryan's room is no exception: [link]
The last photo with his grandparents, taken at a Greek restaurant: [link]
This is the photo I linked to earlier. He's growing up so quickly! He's becoming more and more his own little person each day. [link]
