I did see your post...will respond in thread, but all is good.
The wine is all the way in the kitchen and it is unopened. Where is my cabana boy?
Hey, preaching to the choir. I thought our Lady of the Perpetual Sea Breeze was the real deal until the Divine Miss J walked right through that door and right into my ass—which is where my heart is…physiologically. I could show you an x-ray.

The status is NOT quo.
Java, so excited about the prospect of you owning your home!! Fingers and toes crossed.
And I'm laughing wryly at the real estate talk. I owned my first condo when I was 23 and sold it for a profit to remodel a gorgeous two story colonial house in Connecticut...and then I got divorced and moved to LA and will likely be a renter the rest of my life since I couldn't even buy a small house in my neighborhood for what the CT house cost. Still, better than San Fran or NYC! And I love Pasadena. Renting is fine with a good landlord, which we have in spades.

Gonna be a weepy evening, watching a PBS thing on the Columbia disaster. Challenger was one of those moments in my childhood I can remember acutely, but Columbia really hit me where I live as an adult, being invested professionally in the shuttle program. I still, to this day, remember an interview with Kalpana Chawla, where she described seeing the reflection of Earth in her own pupil in a window, and that just captured so much of oneness to me, and that was one of the first things I thought of as I listened to the coverage on NPR as I sat in line at the emissions inspection station. I bet the workers wondered at the chick crying in her car.
It meant that when SM4 with Atlantis happened, I was half-sick from takeoff to touchdown.

I'm also still bitter about the whole having to sell the house during the worst of the housing market downturn, so never mind me.
Yeah, I hear that. Ugh.

We looked into renting the house at the time, but a 5 bedroom 3 bath house was too large to rent at a price we could maintain. And not worry about the condition of the house post rental. Bitter. Very bitter.

Found the quote: I could see my reflection in the window and in the retina of my eye the whole earth and sky could be seen and reflected. ~Kalpana Chawla

YES. My house is in poor post-rental condition. However, we are doing some stuff that maybe might help with the saleability. I'll be over here holding my breath.

It floored me when I heard it. And then when they died, I thought, god, at least she got that.
