I just signed up for an archery class at the local nature center. Eeep. I hope this doesn't end up as one of those things like Tai Chi where I have to make peace with being the worst ever in order to get through it. Its ok if I'm really bad at it if it is really fun - like dancing. I don't care that I'm a terrible dancer. I'd rather be the worst dancer on the planet than the best at never shaking anything.
You always think harder is better. Maybe next time I patrol, I should carry bricks and use a stake made out of butter.

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.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Congratulations to D, sj. And I'm glad you get to watch the ceremony.
Thanks! I just watched the correct ceremony.
Go, Windsparrow! Archery classes sound awesome.

Sorry Sail and Calli.
I read the above conversation and I realized I have never had kombucha. Hmm. I need to rectify this.

Thanks, all. I appreciate the kind thoughts like you wouldn't believe. I do think it was the best thing to do for Elliot, but it's still really hard to let go. This is the first time I've been catless in 16 years. It's a bit of a shock not having an excited pet greet me at the door the way I've been used to. At least I got to get out and give him a nice send off with friends, tonight. I drank a Gumballhead beer (named after a comic book cat) in his honor. We all tipped a glass to him and bid him a good passing.

I like Gumballhead. What a tough day, Sail.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
That's a very hard day, Sail. You did the kindest thing but it's so hard.

I'm sorry, Sail

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
I'm so sorry, Sail. Much love and peace to you.
