Not really here. Just driving by to wave at the cosmos where they're keeping JZ, and ita, and Ginger, and DX, and everyone else we've lost and whose voices never really completely leave my psyche or my heart. Also to vibe fiercely that those in SoCal right now - my daughter, son in law and granddaughter are in Sherman Oaks, safe so far - to stay alive, and well, and lose nothing that matters to you, when this is finally under control.

If anyone needs or wants dark chocolate fudge or lemony goodness as passing comfort in the darkness, email me at sf_deb@yahoo.com. I don't check in here.

Stay safe and well, people. Over and out.

Posted my 400th blog post today...wish I could have done it in a happier six years--I'm sure I had one, that one time, but maybe there were no blogs yet. Anyway, I still think this is funny from forever ago, so here it is. Enjoy, I hope. [link]

In case you want to read more. [link]

I will be in San Francisco from 6/4–6/9, if anyone wants to meet up.

Don't like to start my day *this* worked up-- kind of a special ed, Special Comment.(except asking her to resign, except from humanity, seemed beside the point.) You're not going to *enjoy* this, but it still came out well, anyway. [link]

This isn't mine, it's from Wonkette, but I thought everyone here needs to see it anyway. [link]

Couldn't decide where to put this so... [link]

Holy crap, it's been two years since the last arranged holiday card exchange? I thought I only missed one. Oops. [ETA: No, I figured wrong. It was just the one last year. Anyway...]

Well, I am testing the waters to see whether peeps would like to do the card exchange this year. If you would, please read on...

Please fill out this Google form by Monday, 12/1 (please use SHIFT+ENTER to create line breaks in the address section).
