It's a great journey that I'm enjoying vicariously.
So great! He definitely looked Buffista appropriate at the Memorial.
A year and a half ago, I could have eviscerated him with my thoughts. Now I can barely hurt his feelings. Things used to be so much simpler.

I'm sorry all the travel to and from SF this weekend was so fucky.
I was ready to pivot after the Memorial from The Past to The Future today but that didn't happen. In fact, I re-read all my FB posts from August and September.
So I sat a little longer with my freshly renewed grief. Which sounds worse than it was. It was really just loving Jacqueline and missing her, which I will always do from time to time. I'm okay with that.
But it was great having dinner with Maria last night and breakfast with Tom this morning.

Oof, {{{Lisah}}}. And hugs and love to David as well. Grief is grief.
It was a tight connection, but now I'm now on the plane from Munich (flight is about to begin). They were not kidding about the security protocols in the entrance to the Israeli section, I barely made it in time and pretty sure that the security person and I are now dating after that pat down.

Well the trains are supposedly running this morning so I should get home today. Hope the last leg of your trip is smooth sailing, Shir!

Landed in Israel (still in the plane). Next stop: home (this will take about an hour and a half or two).
Update: that tight connection? I made it, my suitcases didn't. I'll only get them tomorrow or the day after it.

Lisa, that's stressful -- I hope you have smooth travels today!
Had a 3 hour layover in Chicago, so it was fine
I hate ORD with the strength of 1,000 suns. Although I'm usually in the Delta terminal, so maybe the other terminals don't suck as much.

Our wings are not tired.
I'm sorry, lisah, that is a lot.
Ugh on all the travel woes. Good to see people arriving home, but really want to have a way to transport people quickly and cheaply so we can be together more often.
Starting to plan for my move to NY. I ordered a variety of clothes to be delivered to my sister. My plan is to have clothing north and south and only travel with pet stuff and a small travel bag.

We’re home! And I have work I can do today but no meetings.
