My Aunt Katherine has died.
I'm sorry, dad. You know I would never have tried to save River's life if I had known there was a dinner party at risk.

All is well that ends in pizza.

quick query:
Who lives in the vicinity of Bethlehem, PA (100-150 miles out is OK.)
We're thinking about moving closer to be closer to M, and also so D will have better work possibilities in IT InfoSec.
I know maria and fran are fairly close by, but i would be leaving all my best friends of 20+ and also my family. And i am terrified and anxious and little angry. Ok, answers in posts or via my profile addy.

Ok. Wow.
I can't believe I'm typing this, but we ARE going to move to Pennsylvania as soon as D gets a job, and we sell the house. The realtor thinks our house should sell well, and we plan on putting it on the market in late August.
I've already had a couple of people reach out -- hi, future neighbors! -- and the most important part is seeking job opps for D within about an hour of Allentown, since that's where The Boy's school is. D's a Sr. Network Security Engineer with a High-Risk Public Trust security clearance, if that helps. (It's all Greek to me.)
And I guess we'll be needing help on figuring out where we should settle -- renting a house or townhouse, not buying.
I am really, really, REALLY freaking out about this, and upset, so I am asking for a lot of -ma in the upcoming months, because this is going to be really, really, hard on me. I will be leaving my family and my good, good friends behind, and well, I have been crying pretty much all day. Big ugly crying.

Could I please have some Job-ma? It's for the position above mine, which I am sort of doing anyway, so I figure I might as well be paid for it. I have to prepare a presentation as part of the interview. Public speaking and an interview? Lovely. My anxiety (not just about this) is through the roof, and I feel like I am down to my last spoon. So good vibes tomorrow morning would be great. At this point, I'll be happy if I just don't have a meltdown in front of my bosses.

PA Buffistas --
I am thinking about accompanying the kiddo back to PA on August 26 or 27th, if anyone would be up for a houseguest for a day or two. (One of us has to fly him back, so I'm thinking if a PA Ffista or two wants to host me, it might be a good thing to ease me into the idea of becoming a PA resident.)
I'd be flying into Philly; I'd be fine with taking public transpo somewhere, but wouldn't be able to rent a car or hotel.
What think ye? (You can ping me via email addy or on FB message.)

If you or a friend is an experienced network architect willing to work at least part time in Denver, my company is looking for someone. Profile address is good.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
There is a hole in the world. Kara died this evening. DJ and her sister and friends were there. Thanks to all for your prayers and good thoughts.

Got laid off in the company restructure, but am more OK with it than maybe was even expecting--that said, any job leads in the Seattle Area are OK by me!

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Could I get ~ma sent Northern Cali way for my lovely brother-in-law who is in the ICU tonight and goes in for emergency open heart surgery tomorrow morning. Quick recovery is the message to the Surgery Gods.
