You know, I've saved lives. Dozens. Maybe hundreds. I reattached a girl's leg. Her whole leg. She named her hamster after me. I got a hamster. He drops a box of money, he gets a town.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

All the double-posts...I think the board is in mourning along with all of us. The internet knows there's a hole in the world.

I have to get offline. Open plan offices are terrible places to be crying at work. My heart is going out to all of us today.

Thanks, Besty. I agree. I did.

I can't think of poetry yet, other than one poem-in-math, one that ita loved dearly and expressed her love to it on several posts, the Euler equation.

That's all the letters, not even words yet, that I manage to lean on right now.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

The LAistas are the main ones who would get this, but I have told Graham and Joyce.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

And the bittersweetness of reunions, of "I haven't seen you in ages! But... we're here."

Yes. Hey, y'all.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Oh, good, Lee.

Suzi, what's your Tumblr address?

The status is NOT quo.

I'm at work. It's so hard to hide grief from students, but that's what needs to happen. I'm in a plan period right now. Im not getting much planning done, but I'm so touched by everyone who has returned to grieve as a community.

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 want to get on a plane to LA. To do what, I don't know, but this incredible urge is there to help, even though I don't know what kind of help is needed or wanted. Ridiculous I know.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

Nic and were probably taking her dinner next week if she felt up to it. El Cholo on Wilshire.

OH GODDAMNIT.

Someone has told Colin, right?

Thanks for the poems, deb and Ginger.

Totally.

Maria, *I* want to board a plane to LA! It's crazy, but had it not been for the impossibility of being away from a little boy and an infant when their father is sick, I'd be checking flights as I type.
