Well, other bands know more than three chords. Your professional bands can play up to six, sometimes seven, completely different chords.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

That’s interesting. Now I want to rewatch.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

I haven’t been around the board much in the past few years (although I do occasionally lurk) but coming back and reading all the lovely posts about JZ has been healing. Like coming home to people who have known you for a long time and regardless of how we wander, we can come back and soothe one another during difficult times. Thank you all for this virtual vigil.

Hec, I have no wise words. But you and Matilda have my love and support.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Debet, I'm glad Arthur is home now.

David, I'm so glad that you and Matilda have the Sacred Circle.

"Looking for JoJo" has now replaced "Waiting for Godot" in my existential pantheon.

That is a very good title.

Our wings are not tired.

Great to see your pixels, ChiKat. What have you been up to?

And yeah, those death certificates are needed for everything. Charlie didn’t have a complicated life and I still needed like 5 verified versions for closing down certain accounts, etc.

This.

And so glad Arthur is going home!

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

Then I read about new human Arthur and alien rave salons and Karl hugs and I can take a breath knowing good shit still happens.

Echoing this, very much. Happy that Arthur is home now. And hello, Karl! Hello, ChiKat!

I went outside with a friend yesterday despite this being a migraine day (in a migraine season) and a very sad day after JZ's passing for mocktails and a movie. We were both a bit disorientated by life events and/or biology, but nothing beats being with a friend who knows and accepts you when you're not at your best day, and not staying indoors all gloomy and alone. I am grateful for that.

Edited to add: I've been searching for this poem in the past month and couldn't remember much about it to locate it. I thought you might want to read it too. [link]

Good morning Buffistas! And hello Shir.

I sure was grateful for the impromptu beach trip.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

It is “just” a Great Lake beach, not the ocean, but it is so calming.

I love Great Lake beaches! I’m supposed to be at one this weekend on our annual family trip to Lake Huron, but we’re rolling out a new LMS, so the manager asked that we all take vacation time before or after Labor Day weekend. (He’s reasonable about vacations in general—it’s just the timing with classes starting that was an issue this year.)

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

I recorded this quote, but not where it was from or who originated it, but it seems appropriate here: Because time is an illusion and love is infinite.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Hurray for a home-coming, Arthur!

I think I’m going to use “Looking for JoJo” whenever I have to do something I don’t want to.

smonster, I wish I could teleport you to me. It’s amazing right now since the high season is over.
