Our wings are not tired.

Deena! We miss seeing you so much. Good to hear of the life changes. I selfishly hope this means you will have more time to visit here.

Deena! Glad to hear things are going vaguely OK at least, though hubs' femur break sounds AWFUL!

What is even happening?

Deena! I can't believe Kara is a senior, except I do, when I remember how big my own kids are now. I hope Greg is healing well.

It's so good to see your pixels.

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara

I love you guys so much!!

Greg's officially healed, though it aches still. He has a big titanium rod in there. His ribs were broken too, but they healed on their own.

I selfishly hope this means more time for me to visit too! Thanks, Laura.

I'm a little surprised at how well Arkansas is working out. Kara and I are visiting the same therapist and she's a closet buffista, I swear, though she has a coworker she says has a LOT of buffy, angel, and firefly memorabilia all over his desk and she'd be surprised if he wasn't at least a lurker here.

She can finish my sentences. It's kind of eerie -- like a mentally healthy (and damnably skinny, also 10 years younger) me!

My last visit, I had to list women I admire and a huge preponderance of them I met here, so of course I was thinking of you all.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Deena, hi! It's so good to hear from you, and wonderful to hear about Greg and Kara and Aiden. How's your eldest? And what's he doing these days? Did he make the move with you?

Sorry--don't mean to be nosy. It's been awhile. We've missed you, and, well, I *am* nosy! And tremendously glad to see you.

Hi Deena! I remember your Aidan being a baby when my godson was a baby! Time flies! Nice to see your pixels!

Thanks, Sophia!

Bev, I can't believe I forgot to mention Nick! He is still living in Ohio. He has the same job he's had for ages, managing a gas station and U-Haul place while the owners do car repairs in the attached bays. He has a lovely girlfriend who has a 5 year old daughter. They're both lovely, though I haven't actually met them. We don't talk nearly enough. He's working on video game and app design with a friend, still writing music, and hanging out with the peeps he's been friends with since high school. He talks about coming to visit, but there's always the budget...

Aidan wasn't even born when I joined the board! I swear it wasn't that long ago.
