Sending so much love to Nilly and Shir. My heart is heavy.
{{{meara}}} So upsetting. Sending love.
{{{Sheryl}}} It's a lot.
Ugh, David, I'm sorry you're now dealing with credit card fraud on top of everything else.
I've really got to learn to just do the damage and get out of town. It's the 'stay and gloat' that gets me every time.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
I'm also staying at Hotel Majestic for the memorial. Haven't booked my flight yet since I'm hoping Papa Bezos will pay for one leg (trying to shoehorn a business trip to Seattle into the same week).
I am continuing to make NYC metro area plans with Shir and hoping like hell she's able to come.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Okay, that was relatively painless changing my card on Venmo, PayPal and Amazon.
And I changed them all to the Living Trust account so I won't have to change them again when that account # is changed.

I’m at the Stanton Park Hotel, I guess I’ll have to console myself that I’m next door to the Pinball Hall.

Our wings are not tired.
Stanton Park was full when I checked. Pinball Hall? This sounds like a Brendon thing.

Pinball Hall is super relevant to my interests.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty
Every time somebody updates, I think, "Oh, should I try to get there?" But realistically, I don't know where I'll be treatment-wise, so unfortunately not likely.
{{{Shir & Nilly & Fam}}} so glad you're OK, even if grading and work are making things extra onerous.
But, some tiny, personal good news - saw Trevor Noah live tonight. Very fun show! And he came out for pics outside the stage door (pictorial evidence on FB), so that was cool. (Working on embracing experiences (without being fatalistic about it)).
And I have a task at the office that I need to come in late in the afternoon to do, so I volunteered to clock in late tomorrow morning so I can work in the office late (when it's mostly deserted). Y'know, 'cuz I'm a giver, nothing to do with not getting home until nearly 11:00 tonight. Nope, definitely 'cuz I'm such an awesome employee!

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
Nilly and Shir, I hope things have calmed down in your area.
I am stuck in NC during the memorial, as the person I cover for (and vice versa) is getting married and going on his honeymoon then.
