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

Today we are holding David in our hearts even more than usual as the calendar and our memories mark his and Jacqueline's anniversary. Sending all my love.

It is the 20th anniversary of our wedding day. I remember it all so vividly. It doesn't seem so distant in time.

I'm looking forward to seeing so many beloved faces in the next few days.

Best wishes, it sounds like a very melancholy time.

Bittersweet for sure. But still plenty of sweet.

Going through this process pulls me back into the intimacy of our relationship, which is good. But it makes the wound feel fresh too.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

I am so sorry that I can't be there with you all in SF this weekend. David, I hope the memorial is everything you want and need it to be. I wish I could give you some big hugs in person.

Yes, holding you tightly in our hearts today, exactly what Kate said about this weekend. Twenty years is both a long time and a blink.

I will be there in mind and spirit this weekend.

All those bags of mulch I put out make the front of the house look classy. [link]

Nice landscaping, Gud!

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

Oof, David. Big hugs.

Gud, it looks lovely!

Awesome doctor thinks a GLP-1 med is a good idea, since the stress/long Covid weight is stubborn despite my exercise and diet. Just need to get insurance to cover it, which I'm guessing they will, since I also take meds for high blood pressure.

When we were talking about it, he said, "You know it's an injection, right? How do you feel about stabbing yourself?"
Me: "Honestly, my life has been lacking opportunities to stab anyone, but this seems like a good place to start."
Awesome doctor: "I knew you'd be cool."
