Our wings are not tired

I hope the cruise is amazing for you.

Which ship are your traveling on?

Ann, that's a ferret.

Royal Princess, ND. We've spent enough time on Princess ships to start getting the good perks on their frequent traveler program.

And thanks to all for the good wishes.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

May your vacation bring you lots of rest and recreation, Fred Pete!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh man, Fred -- what a tough year. I hope the cruise is renewing for you both.

Java, that is master class slumber nutting.

“Not dead yet!”

  • pokes head in*

I'm alive! Still being Lurky McLurkson here, but as loudmouthed as ever in other venues.

Still in Seattle, still writing (attempting to shift genres), still crazy about husband, kids, dogs, and cat.

I am, as ever, boring as hell. :-)

Barb, you are never boring.

Barb? Boring? Errr... I am having cognitive dissonance on that.... cannot process...

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Hello! I'm mostly lurky for various reasons, but I do think about the board every day. Peanut is almost 11 months old, and is excellent at giving side-eye. We're still in our cozy flat in SF, I'm still bartending (sadly, but needs must), and our two cats are getting excellent at baby-avoidance.
