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
Go, Lisa and team! Well done!
Gud, that sounds like a great offer and you definitely have a lot to think about.
Steph, FWIW, I wouldn't go either. I'm also giving your FIL stink-eye for even contemplating it.

I mean, he's developing dementia, so I don't think he really understands how serious the pandemic is. I'm willing to give him a pass, but I cannot believe that Tim and his brothers think it's fine for him to be there. They are smarter than that.

Punishingly Intricate
Thanks, everyone! I did nothing but sleep late and read my book today.
I'm sorry Tim's family is being like that, Steph. Bob's family has had all kinds of ill-advised (if outside) events this summer but fortunately there was no question about us flying out to be at them.

Whew! I have been trying in vain to set up a blood donation appointment online for weeks and I finally gave in and called instead and they set me up in 3 minutes. So that's a relief.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

You're OK! Especially for an eBook! My mother is having Amazon ship her a hardcover instead of walking five minutes to, again, the independent book store we love.

Thank you for the absolution and a head shake towards your mom

I meant to have several italics in there, but you get me.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
I don't have an independent bookstore anywhere near me, so I buy mysteries from the mystery bookstore on the Eastern Shore, and other books from Powell's. Back when there were still meatspace conventions, I'd buy what I could from the book sellers there.
