Also, you can tell it's not gonna have a happy ending when the main guy's all bumpy.

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.

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!

Our wings are not tired.

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.
