That was really lovely to read, sarameg. Well done.
iSacramento? Auto correct so weird.
I'm not evil again. Why does everyone think that?

Aw, man, my best friend from high school died suddenly over the weekend. We didn't stay close for various reasons, but that's a gut punch.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh no, -t. I'm so sorry!

I'm so sorry, -t! ~ma to you and the family.

Our wings are not tired.
I'm sorry, -t. This mortality thing basically blows.
sarameg, that was delightful to read. I am sure the family really did appreciate the outpouring of love and comfort. I get the whole not recognizing the 21 yo you. I barely remember that me. Still, it was very important making you who you are today, and the people are important too. I'm glad it was a good experience, although no doubt more than emotionally exhausting.
DH is off to a funeral this morning. We went together yesterday to the viewing, but one of us really has to work on a Monday morning. DH worked with Juan both at a bank and then brought him with him when he moved on to medical practice. The medical group paid for all the funeral expenses. They are really lovely people. Most of the bank people we hadn't seen in a decade. Good to see how many people loved him. He was sweet, funny, and flirtatious. 60 years old enjoying his large family and grandchildren, and gone.

I'm sorry, Laura.
Mortality, man. It sucks. My uncle had been trying to call my mother Saturday morning and not reaching her -- because she was at a funeral. Although as she said, when you know a lot of people through the Alzheimer's Association, there are a lot of funerals.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
I am so sorry, -t. I think it is just age, but death just seems to keep happening.
My BFF and I have been friends since we were 20, and every once in a while we run in to things where we misread each other based on who we were then! Silly things,too. I used to really hate sleeveless things, but I totally don't care how. She still hesitates to wear sleeveless in front of me!
We were also talking about which Golden Girl we were, and I have never been able to find one and end up with Rose as a default. So we decided to make Jessica Fletcher from Murder She Wrote and honorary Golden Girl and I could be her. We are very silly.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
I don't have a lot of work to do this morning, and there aren't a whole lot of Internets this morning, and I am REALLY BORED.
