It sounds scary and awesome.
That's exactly it.
Oh, at first it was confusing. Just the idea of computers was like — whoa! I'm eleven hundred years old! I had trouble adjusting to the idea of Lutherans.

Vortex, I am thrilled for you!
Does this mean you are moving?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Good onya, Vortex. Hey, that reminds me. Legal counsel is always spelt legal counsel, right? Not legal council? I kept correcting that in a work document, and people kept making the error again. At least, I've been assuming it's an error in the US as well.
Ugh, Frank. I can't stress thorough testing enough. My mother was sick for two years before she got a correct diagnosis. TWO YEARS after her first visit with a gastroenterologist.
What's the time difference at which jet lag becomes a factor? Because the 2 or 3 hours that Jamaica is different from LA doesn't seem to bother me. The actual plane ride is a strange time out of time.

I hope they figure out what to do about your mother, Frank.
Could she be having trouble swallowing liquids?

Yep. Good news is that they're paying for it.

also yep. A legal council would be a group of people who do something legal.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Good news is that they're paying for it.
Ooh, that's great news!

I'm going to say 6 hours, because coast to coast doesn't bother me nearly as much as East Coast to Paris used to. And it's not the overnight thing, because I far prefer SFO-Paris (11-12 hours and 9 hour time difference) to NY-Paris in either direction. My family was shocked the first time I flew from SF because I didn't have any jetlag (as compared to NY when I would sleep in for days). Of course, they were also shocked I could only come for a week because I had two weeks vacation/year, but that's a whole 'nother story.

I didn't get jet lag when I went to Kenya either, but maybe that was too long a trip. I don't know.

(I can't even think about what will transpire if Tim and I get married. Because it won't be in the Catholic church, and probably not in any church. But that's not really an issue right now and may never be. But still, I can't help thinking about it.)
That sounds like a good reason for not marrying at all. Or secret marrying. Oy. Can of worms to be sure.
And that (liberation theology) was something I loved about Catholicism. Don't know where it went.
This. My personal experience with the Catholic church has always been heavily on that side of things, and it's hard to reconcile those people (and the JZs of the world) with what the broader institution really is.
Best wishes for your mom, Frank.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
espousing things like -- his (Tim's Dad) salvation is contingent on getting his children to come back to the church
Yeah, I grew up in fundy evangelical churches and while we were told we needed to tell people about Jesus and help them get saved, our own salvation was not dependent on whether or not we were successful.
All kinds of ~ma for your mom, Frank.
