On my seventh birthday, I wanted a toy fire truck, and I didn't get it, and you were real nice about it, and then the house next door burnt down, and then real firetrucks came, and for years I thought you set the fire for me. And if you did, you can tell me!

F2F5: I forget that everyone isn't us

Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon.

Shir, this Seattle Buffista would love to, though is fighting off a cold and may be out of commission.

Oh, I'd love to! I'm all booked till Wed noon, but will be in Seattle till Thursday afternoon. Will that work for you? I can try and fit something into Wed morning if it won't.

Epic, yes! You were one of the two. Omnis was the other.

Pix, I will try to be there. Saturday is a certifiable nutty day, but we're going to try to make it in the morning. Barring everything be okay on our end.

Kat, lots and lots of ~ma to you and Grace. I hope I'll have the chance to see you, too.

As you all know, I have a local number now. Thing is, I really couldn't log into any site - b.org, twitter, my email account from it. Today I'll be mostly AFK, so if you need me, please call or text. Thanks!

Well, after a comedy of errors ( two streets with the same name, so I ended up saying "I'm standing on the corner waving my arms around, where are you?" And only having construction workers look at me funny) we found each other an hour late, so we got Vivace coffee quick and I stuck her on a bus to Amtrak, rather than get a big omelette and stuff. Oh well.

Darn, Shir! We're going to be ships in the night, I think. :(

I've got an extra kidlet in the house tomorrow, and Thursday's all booked up with work.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Our nephew is getting married on Saturday, so that's what we're doing.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

I do find it funny, that my Netflix cue has "Waltz With Bashir" arriving at my house at almost the same time as Shir arrives in SoCal.

Hosted Shir in Olympia today. Showed her Tumwater falls, and the over the top Greco-Roman-French envy architecture of the capital. Between that, lunch and some shopping she wanted to do, that filled the hours she had. And then when I dropped her back at the train station, her train turned out to be way behind schedule. I would have stayed to wait with her but some of my health issues were starting to kick in and I needed to drive home while I could still drive at least somewhat safely.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

Pix, when you get a sec, can you email or text me your street address so I can figure out how close the various motels actually are to you for Saturday?

Thanks ever so.
