And Amy must be what, 27, 28?
Don't be silly, brenda. I'm ... 29.
Happy birthday, Alex!
And thank you for all the birthday wishes!
But I understand. You gave up everything you had to find me. And you found me broken. It's hard for you.

Happy, Happy Birthday, Amy!
And Alex, wow -- happy 21st!
The tournament is over, and, you guys, SO much fun. And I say this having ranked WAY near the bottom. (Setting a baseline!) My compatriots on the other hand -- 👌. Impressive.
I will be lobbying for anyone who even has an inkling they might go next year to just say, "Yes!" Fun event, but low-key as far as competitions go, very friendly crossword nerds, really good restaurants literally across the street from the hotel, Buffistas, some of their cool friends... I'm just saying.

She was! And you were not without some sparky heat yourself, friend...

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

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
It was so good to see everyone in and around the crosswords!! And I was on fire, if I do say so myself, ha. In the top third!!

Our wings are not tired.
That's awesome, Jesse! Exceeded your expectations!

Skipping a bunch because I’m exhausted and anxious this morning. Hugs and ~ma to all who need it.
I’m dealing with something currently that I originally talked to JZ about before she got sick, and oh I’d give anything to be able to talk to her right now.
