What is even happening?
Congratulations on your worst parenting ever! It's a badge to wear with pride! And now, since it took me 20 minutes to write this, I'm giving up, as I am also the worst.
Jacqueline, you have never been the worst and have always been the best. I keep thinking back to our times when we emailed about Chesterton and Lewis, and little fat babies, and just dang Buffy. I want to keep that forever.
I love you so much. Please always know that. Always.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix
I spent some time with my niece & nephew-in-law, and their little 3-week-old boy. They are still in the constantly-exhausted stage, and I feel so bad for them. Wish we could fast-forward a little bit.
Happily they have a ton of family and friends showing up to support them. I may try to bring them dinner once per week for the next few months.

Just to adjust everybody's expectations, Jacqueline was pretty out of it last night and is having trouble communicating this morning.
I'll see what the magic of Diet Coke and caffeine can do.
But it will be nice to see everybody's face on Zoom.

I'm so glad she will be able to hear our voices.
EVERYONE ATTENDING, be sure to mute yourself unless you are speaking. We want everyone's voice to be clear for JZ and for the recording.

It will be good to see you, too.
be sure to mute yourself unless you are speaking.
beekaytee, do you want to make me a co-host so I can take care of muting and stuff? I've hosted so many Zooms by now, I know I can multi-task pretty fluently.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
She's pretty sleepy but I asked if she was up for the Zoom and she said yes.
I said all you've got to do is listen to people say nice things about you. And you can close your eyes and it will be recorded and we can listen later too.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I'm not able to make it, but I'm thinking of everyone.
