Betsy! Wow! I was just commenting on Brenda's FB page that so very many of us have original highly preferred Gmail addresses because of you Betsy.
So good to see so many other former-regulars.
My computer completely died maybe 15 minutes into the phone call and I'm so grateful I could get back on with the tablet I rarely use.
Someone said it slightly differently above, but at a really fantastic funeral may learn aspects about a person never known before & thought, gosh I wish I'd known that about them while they were alive.
Sort of same thing? wonderful to express appreciation and love to JZ, David, Matilda.
I just couldn't bring myself to come to the Zoom. Know that I love you all from afar.
It only occurred to me today that I talked about when I first David and JZ, but I didn't talk about when I met Emmett (when we took y'all to a Durham Bulls game) and Matilda (a knitting lesson at the apartment in the Haight, when I was in sore need of getting away from All The People at a tech conference). Editorially, this is totally the right choice, but now I feel urgently like including them in the big love envelope.
vw, wasn’t able to make it to the zoom call, but the girls had a playdate today. So, we did get a chance to talk about it.
In completely other news, it continues to be a joy to see Stitch and ltc play together. They love each other fiercely.

The pictures of them together on FB are always fantastic.
I discovered that my mental health improved (like, a lot) when I stopped doing Facebook. And work generally makes posting here during the day impossible, but I want to be present here again. It really was so wonderful to see the faces and hear the voices (and read the totally Buffista-esque comments in the chat), and I realized how much I've missed it. I was always reading along (sometimes skipping and skimming), but participation makes a huge difference.
Last, MUGSHOT. I may get it framed when it's available.

This is a good thought - I think you should listen to yourself on this. Yup.
Echoing what everyone else said about the Zoom yesterday. I'm so glad we had a chance to gather, even virtually.
And as a separate post, welcome to the world, Arthur! Born at 8:12 on 8/21 at 8lb12oz seems like it ought to be good luck.
Oh, welcome to the world Arthur... congratulations to your family.
