I'm so sorry about your dad, Consuela. It's going to be tough. I'm just glad that you got them moved before his cognitive issues rose to the fore.
Question: Will hiding in a cavern with stockpiled chocolate goods be any part of this plan?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

It turns out, when you remove leadership from one whole section of the company you have to do a lot of shifting of people really quickly. All those shifts are coming from or into my department. I just had to draft the announcement. No one has an answer for me on how this impacts who I support. I foresee at least 2 more weeks of chaos, then a month or so of general unorganizedness. Then a calm of 1-2 months followed by reorganization.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Not really, Liese. But I love hearing about it!
Hee. Well, and I benefit from your urban lives.

I could bake! I should bake, actually, because I'm thinking about abstaining from wheat for Lent, so I should totally carb up now.

You are probably on top of this, but your father's decline sounds like he may have been having some mini-strokes. The timing sound familiar to what my friend's father is going through.

...my life really isn't like your lives, is it?
I was taking our housemate to the train this morning, and I passed one of the neighbors a few blocks over who was taking her string of horses for a morning amble down the street. Every now and then I am reminded that I do live in the west.

"already on the kiss-cam with Karl Marx"-
I love snickerdoodles, Burrell. Some of it is cinnamon, and some is probably the silly name. But I did have two little Debbie krispie things that were dyed red and pink for Valentine's. They are nice in a FrankenKitchen sort of way.

quite possibly, yeah. We seem to have strokes in the family, rather than heart disease or cancer. Oddly enough it's on both sides, so I mostly know what's going to get me.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Yup, someone was riding down our street a few days ago, with their Australian shepherds, who Seabiscuit was very excited to see. They were serious working dogs, though, not leading a life of leisure like our pup.
That was the same day as my facebook status with the overheard at the gas station: "Hey, man, can we look at your cow?"

Thrive to spite them
Teppy - I've been trying to find an excuse to try the 3 Penny Taproom.
Will called, there's not a lot of snow in his neck of the woods and I read on Facebook Rutland has very little snow.
The National Weather Service forecast doesn't look accurate. I went out to look at the pretty snow and someone was jogging. It made me briefly consider walking to the library but I think I'll make brownies instead.
