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.

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.
