- 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. :-)
Can't even shout, Can't even cry. The Gentlemen are coming by. Looking in windows, knocking on doors. They need to take seven, and they might take yours. Can't call to mom, can't say a word. You're gonna die screaming but you won't be heard.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Barb, you are never boring.

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.
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.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
(Waves hello)
I've been largely lurky barring the occasional comment, mostly due to work being absolutely crazy-cakes at the moment thanks to some pending legislation. Other than that, things are going well. The cats (Finn and Eddie) are still adorable, and I'm still painting and writing when time and available brain cells permit. I did manage to lose a lot of ground on strength training due to a minor injury (bad landing when falling off something) and subsequent busyness, but I'm easing back into it.

"What would it take to get your daughter to stop tweeting about this?"
It's nice to come by and see names that make me feel comforted and nostalgic. I'm mostly gone and can't even claim lurking status that much anymore. I feel in touch because I have interaction on Facebook and evidently, in my mind, transfer that back to here as if it's the same. I identify with the board in my heart, but reality is that I haven't posted in a long time.
A Facebook post alerted me to check the board, and while I was here I remembered the October thread. I'm sorry for the reason I needed to check the board but glad to get in on the October homecoming this year.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Hello, Theresa and Anne W. and juliana! And anyone else I didn't say hi to. It's good to see all of you.

“Not dead yet!”
Weirdly enough, I feel better not being the only slacker. And like Theresa, I feel connected because I talk to so many of you on FB. This place, man...it's home.
