Buffistas

Every planet has its own weird customs. About a year before we met, I spent six weeks on a moon where the principal form of recreation was juggling geese. My hand to God. Baby geese. Goslings. They were juggled.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I just checked my online banking and guess what hit my account?

Jacqueline's "death benefit" and the backpay on her pension going back to her retirement last July!

Finally, after 9 months of bureaucratic wrangling. And that means I can finally start engaging with our health insurance plan too.

Our wings are not tired.

That is quite the pleasant overdue surprise, David!

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated

I just checked in with Julianna and Sylvie and they'll be joining me next week to tour the venue for the Memorial. I'll be leaning on them for some localista assistance as I pull the Memorial together.

Oh dang, I need to get plane tickets and book a hotel. Okay, doing that this weekend.

Same. Any suggestions on where to stay would be appreciated.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

So, is there a dress code for the memorial?

Also, I have to share something. My boss is retiring. My boss is very anti-fuss. She does not want a party, or gift, or a department event, or anything like that. I have respected that, but some of my colleagues are insisting on doing something (why gawd, why?). I have inadvertently been roped into the fuckery because I was asked if I know how to superimpose words on a picture. When I stupidly said yes, they asked me to superimpose a poem that my colleague wrote over a photo. Y'all, I got the poem today and I think that it was written by AI. The first stanza is:

In the quiet corridors of office lore,
Where deadlines hummed and memos soared,
There stood a manager, wise and kind,
Her brilliance a beacon, forever enshrined.

Dress in your best, splendid style with lots of color.

That's some kind of Corporate Poem, alright.

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."

Wow, Vortex. What else can you say but wow.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

hugs to everyone who wants them.

Vortex, that is. Well. That.

Any suggestions on where to stay would be appreciated.

Anyone who has any questions/concerns/etc. about where to stay in SF can email me at my profile gmail account, and I'll be happy to help. Budget/timeframe/desired amenities are good things to add in said email. (Unless, David, you have specific ideas of where folks should stay)

Not really. They might want to be closer to the venue for the Memorial or closer to the Haight but that's up to them.
