You know me! I'm like, "Go school! It's your birthday!" Or something to that effect.

Safe travels, everyone!

Ah, you’re stuck on the ground, I’m stuck wandering gate to gate as they delay my flight (fingers crossed it’s just the 30 min they’re currently saying, we are on our third gate)

Our wings are not tired.

Today is a Buffista board anniversary date. The first board started this date in 1997.

Safe travel wishes for all. I am still in my jammies sipping coffee. Flight leaves at 4:05 PDT, getting home at midnight EDT. I should think about packing up.

Swouncing

The efforts by David, Matilda, Juliana, Sylvie, and who knows how many others brought together an incredible event. It was just perfect in every way.

This. It was so moving and beautiful and tearful and joy-through-tears and full of love, through the screen (and the sort of watch-and-post in the youtube chat), I can only imagine how meaningful it was face to face. Thank you so much for the livestream that made it possible for me to attend from afar. Thank you so much for all of you who were able to attend and through that make it such a meaningful event.

Would anyone be interested in creating some kind of a google-drive to collect all the pictures people took all throughout yesterday?

I for one would love to see pictures, but I'm not on facebook or the like, so I was trying to think of a way around that.

Shir (I'm so grateful she could attend!) already thought this was a good idea, and obviously I would love to help (people can upload pictures straight to the drive, or e-mail me and I would upload them, or whatever works for you. I can put the link in my profile, so that only registered users may access it). What do you think?

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

(and the sort of watch-and-post in the youtube chat)

It was nice (and unexpected) to have that real-time connection.

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated

I didn't watch the livestream until after the memorial was over, because I assumed (correctly) that I'd be crying a lot and needing to hit pause. So I missed the youtube chat but I'm glad youtube keeps the chat, too.

I was pretty good with the crying, except when the young people spoke. Each of them touched my heart so much.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Yesterday was just so incredibly lovely from start to finish. Waiting for a Lyft now to meet whoever is around for brunch at Boardroom (which Google says isn't open but Juliana said meet at 11 so that's my plan!)

We'll be later, but heading to the Boardroom. We had to pack and check out and stuff. Be there in about 20 if people are still there.

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

I meant to head to the Boardroom but after I checked out I ended up heading straight to BART and home. Have some tots for me.

Such a good day yesterday, but it was also a lot
