Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

Our wings are not tired.

How cool is that?

Wild! She is 30 now, so this was probably 14 years ago. Small world.

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

SFO is apparently having some sort of issue, so we're still stuck on the tarmac at Sea-Tac. Fun.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Ugh. I'm sorry, Plei.

And I'm very sorry that Tep can't make it.

Happy birthday to Vortex! Excited to be able to deliver hugs in person this year. Enjoy your day and I do hope the year ahead is filled with delight.

Really hope to hear that Plei has made progress in this direction.

Happy Birthday Vortex!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Many happy returns, Vortex!

The Nilly calendar also records today as the anniversary of the first F2F in 2002. It was a grand event.
