You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

My mother was trying to tell me they worked from home during the blizzard of 78, but I can't figure out how, with no computers/access to any files/etc.

My master's comprehensive was scheduled for three days after the blizzard hit, so I just hunkered down and studied. That was my plan for the week anyway, so I already had everything I needed. I had to walk to school to take the exam, about a mile, but uphill all the way on semi-plowed roads. Fun times.

I'm sorry, Jessica. May your grandmother go peacefully and in comfort.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

THAT makes sense.

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

Jess, I'm so sorry.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I'm sending good thoughts your way, Jess.

Punishingly Intricate

I'm so sorry,Jess, that must be terribly hard not to be with your grandmother and with all the family.

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

Plei, you could go yell at them from their front lawn? :) Apparently my sister dropped off shopping for my parents on their stoop and then talked to them from her car while they were in the house, LOL.

They live on a hill and are hard of hearing! Even if they were out on the deck, I am not sure they'd hear me!

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

I'm so sorry, Jessica.

I finally got my new laptop, set everything up, plugged in my card reader, opened up IE, and... no go. STILL cannot log into the network.

I'll give it another try in the morning, call the IT folks, and then go to the office to see if there's anything important in my email.

Apparently you can park right outside our building now, which is just shocking to me.

The Governor has called for shelter in place statewide; I wonder how much that will help.

The status is NOT quo.

So sorry, Jess. Sending my love.

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

My mother was the only one of her 4 Boomer siblings not to fly out to Cincinnati yesterday. Including my one uncle who IS A FUCKING DOCTOR OMG. Family Zoom call at 11.

In the meantime why not enjoy some Lin Manuel Miranda singing Everything's All Right? I plan to watch this on repeat for the next seventeen or so hours.
