Oh Sophia, I'm so sorry.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

The status is NOT quo.
I am almost never around lately, but I love catching up when I can. This school year has been challenging, and we are officially in what we call the "hundred days of May." I will cross this finish line, but it ain't pretty.
Sophia, sending you so much love. I LOVE that you are adding humor to her obituary. It sounds perfect. Writing my dad's obituary (which I did mostly sitting by him in the hospital hospice room; he had long since lost consciousness) was oddly therapeutic for me. I hope it brought you solace, also.
Tep, yikes! I'm glad he's going to be okay, but that's a lot. Hang in there.
Hugs, Karl. I hope things stay better.
YAY, Calli!
It was a Miyazaki day here, I wish my friends could share the stress-cleansing breezes, blue sky, and sunshine.I love this, Beverly.

Our wings are not tired.
Today we celebrate and send the happiest birthday wishes to Karl! I hope you are being spoiled today and that this year brings all you hope for and more.

For the record, today's Connections was just plain stupid and I don't even care that it broke my streak. So there.

Happy, Happy Birthday, Karl! May your year ahead have much joy in it.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
For the record, today's Connections was just plain stupid
It was, in fact, very stupid.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
Broke my Connections streak two days ago, but today's I got on the third try. How odd.

I am an outlier -- I liked it. But only few and far between with the non-standard ones.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Wrote mom's obituary because that was all I could to. For the first and probably last time in my life speaking in public was inconceivable.
