And I wonder, what possible catastrophe came crashing down from heaven and brought this dashing stranger to tears?

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

Anyone interested in lunch in the loop area of Chicago on June 1? I will be with kids and on public transit/foot (Megabus gets in at 11:30.)

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Sure! I'll probably have a meeting at 1. Otherwise I'm pretty flexible.

I need to express my gratitude to meara. We hadn't had rain of any quantity in months and much of the state was on fire with over 90 active wildfires. She shows up for a visit and we have had 4" in the last couple days. Well done packing the rain dance gear.

Lol. I bring seattle with me :)

That was me in Los Angeles every February for a number of years.

Oh hey, just a note to ask people to also use email if there are Bay Area gatherings happening. I'm also in the SF Bay Area. Happy to be a tour guide around Marin also, if anyone has the time or interest.

How crazy would it be to vacation in New Orleans in July? I generally deal with heat pretty well.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

It'll be really hot and humid. If you wear glasses, they'll fog up every time you go outside. It's cooler at night, so planning things around that can be useful.

It depends how much you plan to walk around outside. If you're in the Quarter, it's actually designed to give you some shade, at least. Uptown/Garden District is pretty shady. But yeah, like Hil said, it'll be hot.
