Congratulations, Laura!
And continued congrats to the Zmayhems! House-buying is super stressful, and there is more paper than you will ever be able to read. But in the long run it's so reassuring to have your very own place.
Went to lunch with a long-time fan friend today, who I hadn't seen since the before times. A place called Kitchen Story, which apparently has a SF location too? Absolutely killer brunch menu, with something they call "Millionaire Bacon", which was really great thick slabs of bacon with maple and spice on it. So good. Highly recommended if the Bayistas get a chance.
In other news I managed to figure out how to get my macbook and my Dell to talk to one another, so I can move all my music to the Dell and run it as a music server, instead of streaming audio all the time.

Yay Laura!
All of the nice-to-visit parts of Arkansas are unfortunately on opposite side of the state from me. Lots of places in the Ozarks are great to visit, as is Hot Springs (which is a bit closer to Dallas). My personal vacation spot of choice is Eureka Springs, a little Bohemian artists community/resort town up in the mountains.

Congrats on the sale, Laura!! So exciting!
I took my mom down to see her cousin in Lewes, DE yesterday. Cousin had pancreatic cancer and was in home hospice and Mom hadn't seen her since before the pandemic. It's about 3 hours away and took some coordination because my brother had to stay with my dad and a friend had to stay here with the dog (because Bob is in MI with his Dad who was just diagnosed with cancer and was in the hospital all week).
We got down there yesterday evening and saw my cousin late morning. She was lucid and knew us and seemed happy to see us but was clearly in a lot of pain. She was only conscious for ten minutes or so (which is what we expected).
She told my Mom that she loved her and would see her in heaven. Mom got a call from her cousin's husband this evening saying that she had passed at about 4 today. So grateful we made it down there.

Oh, lisah, how sad, but I'm so glad you were able to get your mother there.

I'm so glad you were able to get there with her, lisah, and that they got a bit of lucid time together.
