Can I get some ~ma for one of my best friends? In two minutes, she is going before the Senate Committee for her judicial confirmation. She is one of the best people I know, and no one deserves it more.

Help the Shepherds! I don’t normally post things like this, but the rescue organization where we got Kaylee, Westside German Shepherd Rescue of Los Angeles ( [link] ) is in third place nationally to win a grant they desperately need after losing major funding for their new facility. Here’s the info if you’re willing to help from the rescue:

Calling all Chicagoista Theatre types: Do any of you know someone named Nich Radcliffe, he's an Actor, Director, Designer ? my profile addy is good.
When I got home last night I found that my cat, Tanuki, had taken a turn for the worst . I got a ride to the emergency vet but she died before we got there. (Emergency vet is in Aurora.).
She had just turned 20 last week. I miss her dreadfully.

New England-istas: I am in CT visiting my parents this week. I was toying with the idea of traveling north one evening to meet up with those of you who are free for dinner. I can't go all the way to Boston, but I could do Worcester...? Or something within an hour or so? Let me know in F2F.
Okay, Raleigh-area peeps, looks like I am flying the kiddo in Tuesday 8/14.
Anyone able to pick me up from the airport at a certain time, put me up, wanna hang and let me crash on their couch, maybe give me a ride to the port the next day?
Let me know ASAP what times would be good for arrival/departure and whose interested, if anyone, so I can boook ASAP. I'd LOVE to see more Buffistas and I've never been to NC!
Dan said I could stay 2 nights if I wanted, so that's an option. I am very neat and tidy, and allergic to no animals (that I know of.)
Profile addy good, and cell number there too.
I have some new photos of Ryan. [link] So what's our little boy been up to?
His cousin had a birthday party: [link] She's about three months younger than Ryan. It was held at the quality establishment, Monkey Mania: [link]
Said cousin's grandparents (Biyi's uncle and his wife) have been in town, and we went out to lunch with them today: [link] Led to a photo op outside: [link] Personal opinion: Ryan was exceptionally photogenic today. Some highlights:
