Mom, you have my ear.
I think what my daughter's trying to say is: nyah nyah nyah nyah.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Talked to my college roommate, Chip (one of my closest friends) tonight. Extended an invite to him and his wife to come visit and stay at the Garden Apartment and they said they would in 2024.
After I landed in SF, Chip would spend at least a week with me over every summer for many summers in a row. So, I want to re-establish that kind of rhythm and connection.
On that same theme, I also invited JZ's cousin Nicole to come out next week for a few days (a much shorter trip from Sacramento). Jacqueline and I sort of adopted her as she was the very cute but very oddball black sheep of one branch of the family, and we always have room for that sort.
She needs a regular dose of San Francisco and that's something I can provide for her. (If you remember way back, she was the kid who was going to freak out San Francisco with her full Michael Jackson costume, but instead was met with welcome curiosity by various people dressed as Jack Sparrow.)
There were three people that looked up to Jacqueline as a surrogate mother figure and she made sure to make time for each of them in her last days: Nicole, Matilda's friend Mia, and the young man she had mentored, Marco.
I'm making a conscious effort to connect and reconnect with people. Maybe a little sense of urgency, I guess.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
Shir, thinking about you and Nilly always. It's all just so awful.

That makes total sense.
Nilly and Shir, you and yours are constantly on my mind and always in my heart.
Election Day today is giving me dread for the next one. I did not miss that feeling at all.

Election Day today is giving me dread for the next one.
I'm too stressed about Ohio's Issue 1 (the abortion issue) to even think about next year yet. (It does look likely that Issue 1 will pass, but it's not a sure thing.)
And then the other statewide issue would legalize recreational weed, so we might have legal abortions and legal weed.

Remember to vote no on Issue 22, Steph.

Remember to vote no on Issue 22, Steph.
Issue 22 is so much goddamn bullshit. It would be even if the buyer weren't Norfolk-Southern, but they just make it all so much worse. I'm definitely voting no.
