If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Thanks for all the birthday wishes, and happy birthday to Hil!

My family took me out for breakfast at my favorite restaurant in town, and then my kids made me a really terrific key lime pie.

Happy Birthday, Hill, and belated Birthday, Jess!

Nilly and Shir, it's good to see your pixels. Nilly, I think reminding people that hard is hard, no matter what's happening elsewhere, is a good thing.

need to tap into a little bit of Dad energy
After my Dad died I kept sending Christmas cards to his surviving old buddies. Partly because he'd have wanted them remembered, and partly because they'd send me cards with little notes that were absolutely brimming with Dad energy. And I needed that. Still do, but people born around 1926 are a little thin on the ground these days. Oh well. It's getting around the time when I put on my Escanaba in the Moonlight dvd. It's not so much the Dad energy (although there's a fair bit of that) as it is the very distinctive Upper Peninsula of Michigan accents throughout the movie, which was Dad's accent at home.

ETA: I'm sorry for your loss, Matt.
