Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

The wide universe is the ocean I travel, and the earth is my blue boat home

Plei getting me to Ballard might be difficult, but I am willing to do it on occasion!

I am also willing to make the occasional trek to Ballard! (And also trying to reconstruct a friend network post-pandemic and post-that one friend who always invited me to everything moving across the country.)

We're back from my niece's graduation in Oklahoma. She's grown into an impressive young woman--3rd in her class of ~425, headed to Drury University (a small college in Missouri I hadn't heard of before, but it seems to have really good programs) for pre-med.

Hey guys. Sorry I missed the memorial and the live stream. David, if I haven't said it, condolonces for you and your family.

The only excitement we've had down here was my folks in Houston losing power or a day or so after the storm, and even then they had the generator Dad installed after the big freeze a few years ago.

Shir, glad to hear you had a good time in the States and may your luggage fly to you on wings of song.

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

We have an app, but it's not a standalone thing. It plays with our IAM products.

Plei getting me to Ballard might be difficult, but I am willing to do it on occasion! Especially if you manage to pirate that show I was telling you about....

Right! I knew there was something I was meaning to hunt down!

Maybe we should attempt Seattleista coffee or something once a month rotating between our locations...

I am down for monthly seattlista attempts, or something!

Where do you come from? Where do you go? What is your scene, baby? We just gotta know.

I am home, and exhausted.

Our wings are not tired.

Today we celebrate Java cat on her birthday! It was so wonderful to see you in SF. I hope that you have a perfect day and that the year to come is filled with good health and happiness.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Seemingly, the French postal service is planning to have scratch-and-sniff stamps that will smell of fresh baguettes. I wonder how much mail will be eaten.

Punishingly Intricate

That’s so exciting, msbelle!!! I’m working on coordinating a trip to Paris with my Mom and my aunt who’s husband just passed.
