All is well that ends in pizza.
Update on my mother, who underwent open heart surgery 18 months ago.
She just went in for Shoulder Joint Replacement, and was released two days later.
She says that (at 87) it's nice to know she can still get replacement parts.

The glorious love and gracious generosity of the Buffistas cannot be described in word. The "holy fuck!" I said when I opened Anne's letter and saw the enclosure is only the barest summary. I do not like thinking about what condition I would be in now if not for this place. I hope that in the months and years to come I'm able to thank some of you in person.

I am happy to announce that I have sold my first short story to the Genius Loci anthology! I have some incredible ToCmates. Thank you to everyone for supporting me over the years: guess I might have a future in this writing thing after all.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Note on Hil's post: if you do the thing, I will knit you something of your choice. Our team is not above bribery.
