You two carried me through that war. Now I need you to carry me just a little bit further. If you can.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

What brenda said is much interesting. I like it.

Sorry about that. I blame either the NGA brain. Or the XY chromosomes. Or combination of the two.

Our wings are not tired.

It sounds like a very nice family weekend, Teppy. I hope you are well rested today.

My mom's last surviving lifelong friend passed this morning. It was expected, but it leaves mom the sole survivor with no one that remembers stuff from her childhood. The woman's 4 surviving children grew up with me. Her daughter that was my age passed earlier this year. Poor woman lost her mother, husband, daughter, and younger brother within a few years. She was quite ready to join them.

I'd planned to head back to Florida on Friday but now I need to wait until I know what the funeral plans are. Not that it is all about me, but I do need to make some plan since my son's 16th birthday is Sunday and school starts Monday. Going home really does need to happen soon.

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.

Job~ma for Joe.

And peace and comfort~ma to your Mom and you, and everyone who loved this friend, Laura.

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

Well, that was interesting. I needed to fax a form back to my university in DC so that I'll be able to graduate. I first went to the library, where they told me that they don't have a fax machine, but the drugstore down the street does. So I went to the drugstore, where they tried faxing the forms, but said the pages were too wrinkled (they were maybe slightly wrinkled from where I'd been holding them) and told me to go to the copy shop around the corner. So I went there. While I waited, I read the stuff on their bulletin board. There were a bunch of cheesy religious stories, a few email joke forwards that weren't particularly funny, and a page of quotes from Thomas Jefferson. There was, of course the tree of liberty must be refreshed by the blood of patriots one. Also a few about how a free society will always allow the right bear arms, and how democracy will be over when we take from those who are willing to work and give to those who are not. (Is that one really Jefferson? It doesn't seem right for that time period.) Also one about how our society will become corrupt if we all get concentrated in big cities, which I found a bit ironic next to the "9/11 brought us all together" poem.

Anyway. Fax sent. Finally.
