Welcome back, CaBil! You've missed a smattering of births, deaths, the arrival and departure of various pets, lots of worrying about various Buffistas' parents (the universe really needs to back off on all our folks, please), a couple of cross-country moves, the billytea and wallybee wedding, and now you're just in time for sj and TCG's engagement. Also, Hec finished his book in time for it maybe possibly to be out by Christmas.
How about yourself and Ms. Havisham?
Also, from a bit upthread, Laga, those reunion questions are about 10,000 times better than the reunion questions for either my 10th or 15th (can no longer remember which), which consisted in their entirety, my hand to God, of:
1. How long have you been married?
2. How many children do you have?
Amazingly, this was not a sad little backwater ingrown-mountain-range high school with a 13% graduation rate, but a San Francisco school with an attached magnet performing arts school. Possibly the WTFiest questionnaire I've ever not filled out.
Matilda has no idea of birthdays as yet, but she is extremely cheerful this morning. Hec has been singing happy nonsense songs to her and she's been bouncing and warbling most adorably (such a relief, because otherwise she's grinding her teeth, possibly the most unpleasant sound possible at 7:00 in the uncaffeinated morning).
Off to the shower now!
