um, if you're interested, the trailer for Season 2 of Bridgerton is available. (Colin Firth ... who?)
Well, a gathering is brie, mellow song stylings; shindig, dip, less mellow song stylings, perhaps a large amount of malt beverage, and hootenanny, well, it's chock full of hoot, just a little bit of nanny.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
After two and a half years, Matilda is back on a softball field again for a game.
She's one of only three girls on the team who played a lot of softball, and even they haven't played in a game since 2019, so I've been told this could be a little rough.
Nonetheless, I'm excited to see them back on the field.

YAY Matilda and softball.
Oh sweet baby jesus- I'm chatting with E and playing Minecraft and I realize he's kind of "singing" Ice Ice Baby-- I'm like...wha??? WHY? He tells me hasn't really listened to it in 3 years .. and asks what I have against it.
I wasn't sure where to start so I started with Vanilla Ice ripping off Queen ... "Who??" E asks. Who is Queen. Who is David Bowie. So I found a video of Under Pressure and sent him a link. E likes music but he doesn't really listen to music a lot (I was like that at 13) so I guess I can't be too gobsmacked he doesn't know Queen but he knew Ice Ice Baby before Under Pressure.

It should never be underestimated how much harder it is to care for a sick relative when they're fighting against you rather than along with you. Love and hugs to you, Kristin.
Oh, this. Yes. Thank you, Matt. And thanks everyone who offered comfort. I'm almost on the ground in Fort Lauderdale and have learned from Dad's friend that he doesn't want me to take him to any doctor appointments because it is demeaning. I just flew 3000 miles to be with him for them. It makes me sad and angry and just so full of grief. I extended this trip to Tuesday. I just don't know now if I'll be taking leave all at once or will have to do something staggered.
I hate all of it. Anyway. I don't hate all of you. It's Buffy's premiere 25th anniversary today, and I'm so glad that show, inadvertently, brought me all of you.

Ugh, Kristin. He’s so lucky to have a daughter who can and will help him. And even non-dementia people should have someone go with them to doctors appointments if they can—moral support and a more objective listener? Good luck.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Matilda was so pumped up and excited after her game. I guess she missed it.
She's one of only three players on her team that's ever played before. So their pitchers walked SO many batters. But they showed poise and dealt with it.
Matilda had a fantastic game. Caught the whole thing (and we're talking innings where twenty batters were walked). She lined out to left field, walked and scored, hit a screaming liner over the centerfielder's head for an RBI double, hit-by-pitch and scored. Got trucked at the plate twice and held on for both outs (even when she got the wind knocked out of her).
We lost 30 - 16 (mostly because of all the rookie pitchers walks), but honestly our team played pretty well on defense, and hitting. A lot of the newbie softball players were athletic basketball players so they had levels of competence.
She was so happy afterwards. "I don't care if we lost! That was fun!"
