I got to spend this afternoon with Amyth at hospice. I read most of The Last Unicorn aloud with her (skipping a few of the chapters in the castle), and left after her best friend came to spend the night. They’re taking good care of her. It’s easily the nicest care facility I’ve ever been in as far as that goes—clean and as comfortable as such a place can be. I’m glad I had the time to spend with her.

I'm glad you had that time too. Deb knows Peter S. Beagle well. I think he'd be pleased to know he was a consolation in her last hours.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Thanks so much, Calli.

Oh Calli, so glad you could, and thank you for sharing with us.
I got sucked into TikTok. Not by what I would’ve thought,but instead by old SYTYCD videos. So sad that the show isn’t streaming anywhere, especially the early seasons I loved.

I’ve also gotten into TikTok. There’s a lot of cats and cosplay content. Actually, Amyth got me into it a couple of months ago. She loves this NY cocktail creator. [link]

Apparently if you're enough of a power nerd, there is nothing that cannot be flowcharted.
Calli, I’m so glad you could spend time with Amyth. Thanks for telling us about it.

That’s so good to read, Calli.
