"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

That's much better news, Maria! I'm so glad. Still, you never want so much GI distress you have to go to the hospital.

I'm so very relieved. Give Papa a hug from me.

Man, this was not what I wished for you for the let-down from the past few months. More normal, not more crisis-mode, universe!

All but 19 spindles are completely primed. Those 19 just have an inch on 2 sides each left to do. I can knock that out easily tomorrow, I was just tired of tape.

Thunderstorms rolled through here (politely waited until I swam) for a good hour -hour and a half. Bright enough I could see the flashes from the bathroom skylight as I sat on the well-lit stairs, painting. Like.

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

Thanks to all of you!

His heart is enlarged but there's no signs of disease. No blockages and no twisting. He's on a restricted diet, which he's not pleased about, and he's going to have a full work up with the family doc. I'm glad it wasn't more serious but I've really had enough excitement to last me a lifetime.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Sending good thoughts to your father, Maria.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Phew, Maria.

unless you consider places like Wadsworth, Texas; Oswego, N.Y.; or Baxley, Ga., exotic.

And I do! (Never having been to any of those....)

I'm glad your dad is okay, Maria!

Jilli! You will be in Independence? That's Kansas City! What costuming con?

Figments and Filaments. This is the first year for it, but it looks like it will be fun, and they're giving me the full GoH treatment: airfair, hotel, and food!

I FOUND YOUR CORSET. I thought I sent it back to you yonks ago, and I found it in the closet 3 days ago, in the FedEx box that got sent back to me, and my DH just PUT IT IN THE HALL CLOSET and forgot.

Ahahahahah! That explains why I haven't been able to find it in any of the boxes. No worries about it not being back yet, I'm just glad to know my house didn't eat it.

DO you need a ride from the airport or anything?

Nope, but thank you for asking! The con is giving me a minion, and they are collecting me at the airport.
