You know, I've saved lives. Dozens. Maybe hundreds. I reattached a girl's leg. Her whole leg. She named her hamster after me. I got a hamster. He drops a box of money, he gets a town.

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.

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated

Nice landscaping, Gud!

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."

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Very inviting front of the house, Gud!

David, your wedding remains a highlight of that era. I will be so glad to see your face.

(Also, I think I'm mostly packed. Mostly. Apologies for the lack of color in my wardrobe, but "Film Noir Widow" was apparently the aesthetic I decided on before the recommended dress code. I think JZ would have highly approved of the seleced vintage dress, though.)

Packing is making me dread packing for our UK trip in September. Dear lord.

House looks lovely, Gud!

I have arrived in SF. I am very tired, as I am on East Coast tme with 3 hours of sleep and I can't sleep on planes.

Come stand by me; I'll be in pink! We'll be a little bit Wednesday and Enid.
