Woot, thanks, Laura! (Those dudes sure had fun, didn't they?)

Unfortunately, and given the progress of the past 7-odd years, whatever comes after her will almost certainly be worse.

Yes, her departure is a mixed blessing in many ways. Will they learn and pick someone competent? Yet to be known.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

I've had to defrost my car in the morning the last few days. Sigh...

I think Rishi is the "best" candidate (bolstered by the fact that he was right that her economic plan was crap), but racism.

Boris is apparently flying back from holiday to throw his hat back into the ring.

Positive thoughts and much ~ma towards Daniel.

Loads of healing ~ma sent to Daniel. Those kind of infections are so very scary, but the hospital has sound protocols for dealing with it. Deep breaths, Andi, and a dose of calm~ma for you.

All the healing ~ma to Daniel, Andi, and it will keep on coming as long as needed.

Yikes, lots of health and best wishes to Daniel.

Looks like we'll be closing on our new house on October 31st.

That is so exciting, Gud!! Congratulations!

Brendon did his walk through and got the keys and fobs and all that yesterday. We close today at 1, although since they already gave him the keys I guess he could have moved stuff in already. Again spoke with several people who all said we were going to love it there.
