It does look absolutely perfect, David.
To commemorate a past event, you kill and eat an animal. It's a ritual sacrifice, with pie.

You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.
Everybody pinky promise to do a colonoscopy this year if you are due! Promise!
Jim and I had ours in February: no issues.
David, that is an incredible space.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I'm looking at this place to cater the event: [link]
What's your favorite from the menu?
I'm realizing this is sort of like planning a wedding but in reverse. This is the end of our marriage. Twice wed but unmarried. A widower.
I'm planning on wearing my wedding ring for a year and then taking it off. Then I'll string it on a gold chain with her engagement and wedding ring. Maybe it'll go in a shadow box.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
What style with this event be? Sit at tables and dine? Or stand, circulate, converse, sip, and nibble?

I don’t know how you can NOT have spanakopita.

Sit at tables for lunch then much mingling. It's a fairly big space, with lots of side areas.
I don’t know how you can NOT have spanakopita.
Yes, that's a given plus the dolmas.

I had Steve's memorial gathering at his sister's home, which was where we had our wedding reception. We all commented that it looked the same. Same people, same combination of laughing and crying.
The food options look amazing. The crostinis and flatbreads are making me hungry. We need to know where people are staying.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
So my advice when you're drowning from lack of executive function is to hire somebody to come around and kick your ass into shape.
Literally a key reason I want to make more money. That, and travel. And the fever dream of retiring some day.
I wish I could make the memorial, but I’ll be just back from a visit to NC and I’m going to Savannah in a couple weeks for my uncle’s memorial. Perhaps we can do a live Zoom thing?
Yay for clean bills of health! Colonoscopy is on my list for this year. It will be my first.
Aieeeee I just submitted my resume and cover letter for that job! Calli was a wonderful help. ETA receipt confirmed, would-be boss is reviewing over weekend. I get awesome lesbian contractor vibes from her so far. My people.
