For those not on FB, NoiseDesign and I are celebrating 10 years of marriage today — and no, I do not know where that decade went.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

We're at the ER because Tim probably dislocated his elbow. I've never seen him in such pain. It's unreal. Easy fix-it vibes requested. (And not-too-long-of-a-wait vibes, too.)

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

I'm boarding my flight to Cuba in about an hour, and will disappear from the internets almost entirely for the next 2 weeks!

Our wings are not tired.

Hey! I am moving to New York in February. Westchester County, exact location TBD. I've been in LA and SF Bay Area for most of my life so this is a big change. I look forward to being closer to East Coast peeps!

Any SF Bay locals who are interested, my good friend Mary is hosting a farewell open house in Oakland on the afternoon of the 1st. I'd love to see anyone who can make it - she lives near Lake Merritt. Email me if you'd like details.

Tim's surgery is at 4:30 a.m. board time (7:30 a.m. Eastern), so if you have any ~ma to spare for an easy, successful surgery and an easy, quick recovery, I'd appreciate it. (Also stay-calm~ma for me would be swell.)

As a heads up to those who don't have contact with Javachik outside of here, she came down with a brutal, life-threatening case of the flu while on vacation in Hawaii and ended up in the ER with two collapsed lungs. She is recovering at with a friend in Kona but is still very sick. She has asked for no cards or gifts since she isn't at home and is in the middle of moving East, so I thought it might be nice if anyone who wanted to send her love could do so in a thread like F2F (or another little-used thread so she can easily find the messages?) or something. She can't do screens right now, but I know she would appreciate eventually seeing the love. I know few people on the planet who are as generous as Java, and I just wanted you all to know to send healing, loving vibes her way.
