Oh, I hope so!

Pimp My Ride–style paint jobs and underbody neon on our walkers.

Surely we'll have Professor X-style hoverchairs by the time we need assistance, right?

Virtual hugs to you, sj.
I am down with the many-themed gatherings... and the hover chairs!

I think Wall-E warned us about the hoverchairs, though.

I regret missing out on Crosswordpallooza this weekend, both because it looks like y'all had an amazing time, but also because the "picture yourself at Emerson" event had completely separate parent and student tracks, so I spent Friday evening and all of Saturday awkwardly trying to socialize with total strangers. It was emotionally exhausting and I did not enjoy it. I also did not enjoy the drive home Saturday afternoon through heavy rain with basically zero visibility.

sj, I do that about writing stuff, sometimes. She would have loved to hear about the nibble I got in January, if not that it's still not a go, yet, afaik--and even if she'd been married too long to understand why part of me might have traded it for, you know, actual nibbling, though maybe fewer words from me might help that cause, too.(It's kind of a girly story that's taken me about ten years to "perfect"...it made me think of her a lot.) On a semi-related note, my counsel would almost surely be less delicate but maybe I could offer a fresh perspective on your situation, or maybe just hear you out--would that help, or not? I'm here, but no pressure, either.

Look, if we're going to destroy the economy and the environment ANYWAY, I'd at least like to get a hoverchair and cupcake-in-a-cup out of it.
