I like the way the walls go out. Gives you an open feeling. Firefly is a good design. People don't appreciate the substance of things. Objects in space. People miss out on what's solid.

Herding cats for fun

Thanks, you guys. Your kind words are a great comfort. At least I know Dad had a long, full life in which he got to do pretty much everything he really wanted to.

I don't know what my sister will do without the Bank of Dad, which generously financed her on many occasions. The Bank of Katie will not make so many distributions. It is a much smaller institution that has never petitioned for emergency support since I called home for plane fare back from England in 1985 because my credit was maxed out. How proud I was when I came to his house with a check within a week of returning to California. I thought I was all that and hip with the adulting.

I am so very sorry, Katie Bee. My condolences.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

In other news about my ridiculous job, I just got worried for a second and had to google to make sure that crew and rowing are the same thing.

Ann, that's a ferret.

My condolences, Katie.

KB, I'm sorry for your loss.

I mean, not in all contexts but if you have to ask then probably yes.

My condolences, KatieBee.

We saved my dad's ashes for 16 years (reverently stuffing them in a box on a shelf in the back of a closet) until my mom died and they are scattered together in the memorial garden at my mom's church.

This is what we're doing, except I'm to divide the ashes between my grandparents' burial plots (my maternal grandparents are on a beautiful sloping hillside surrounded by centuries-old oak trees) and someplace scenic up in the Ozarks.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

My condolences, KatieBee.

My mother was a vehement believer in cremation so when my father died, she had him cremated. After quite a while, with the ashes in a cardboard box, she had the ashes interred in a veterans cemetary. She died and my sister had her ashes interred with his.

My sister has the ashes of her now deceased cats and is saving them to be interred with her when she dies. Not sure how to feel about that.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Oh, my god, I am in a post-vacation snit, not helped by the complete frustration that contract job is already giving me. Oh, the demo server you wanted me to work on wasn't TURNED ON? Glad I spent that half hour troubleshooting before I called you.

Oh, and the username and password you gave me just literally didn't exist? Great! Totally useful.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Ugh, Dana. Starting up is always hard.

I mean, not in all contexts but if you have to ask then probably yes.

Yeah, fair. The answer for me was yes.
