Scola photos are awesome, and Tom, for some reason, I'm getting 403s on a lot of those links.

Reader, I think I just might marry him.

My heart is bursting with squeeeee for you smonster. I am so, so glad you have found such a wonderful partner.

David, that Matilda song put my heart back together. Bless.

I'm sitting on Laura's bench. Yes, it's nobody's business what anyone's relationship to gravity is, and I'm doing my best to squash the schadenfreude I so desperately want to indulge in. If the process right now is for that information to be public, then no one defendant deserves privacy over another.

Did I mention that my half brother is in the 20th year of a 30 year sentence for racketeering? It was news to me! Though not particularly surprising, given everything else. I guess the best part is that it did not involve violence or trafficking, so he's got that going for him. BUT, he doesn't have the option to hide his information, so why should the orange one?

I wonder if he'd say any of those things if I dropped a cartoon anvil on his head.

No, but he might wave a little cartoon flag with them.

Note to self: Cancel order for Patriarchy-smashing mallet from Acme.

He often looks like a particularly chubby Vizzini.

Considering how many of the newborns in my family looked like Winston Churchill, take the win. May the home monitoring come about soon, because home is a very fine place for you and Arthur to be.

Somebody gave me hard time on twitter because I said I fight lack of access with my twin sledgehammers, Freedom and Responsibility. I "shouldn't even joke about that" apparently. Why not? Being serious hasn't worked!

David, emailing you what I can find while on this machine. First batch sent, second batch waiting for the interminable Zenfolio load to finish, OMG.

Looking through all the F2F pictures to find Jacqueline's pictures my heart was heavy. Too many losses in our Buffista family.

---

I was just thinking that too. Too many people in my pictures are gone.

---

I shrieked when I read this and then had to explain to Tim, whose reaction was "Awww, hooray!"

I really kind of hope the four of us get to hang out one day. Lord, he and Tim have a LOT in common, lol. I want him to meet lots of Buffistas.

how he probably had the supplies to go make me a ring at his house that moment

That's incredibly cool, BTW.

Right?! And he actually thought it through: “Let’s see, I’ve got wax and plaster, I think I’ve got a propane torch to melt the gold…” All while I was giggling and melting from competence kink.

Thanks, everyone. Y’all have been there for decades of relationship angst, so I definitely want to share the joy.

Man, a lot of my photos are on a hard drive I can’t access. And some are maybe still on Flickr? Does that still exist?

---

Flickr still exists. I just regained access to mine.
