Well, other bands know more than three chords. Your professional bands can play up to six, sometimes seven, completely different chords.

It’s too much pink even for me.

Okay, this made me actually go back and see what I missed. Which I never do. So congrats.

Also, that is not "pink" but salmon verging on peach, which is why it looks horrendous. Even the pink in the bathroom looks warm somehow. And the rest of the decor is not helping. I'm not even sure cool blues and greens could save this one, because I think that apartment may be smaller than mine and I sleep in a walk-in closet for a bedroom.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Sad news*. I texted Todd last week to wish her a happy birthday, and today got a text from her sister Roxann telling me that she had passed away unexpectedly in March.

Oh no! Thank you, Vortex, for checking.

I have such vivid memories of how regal and elegant Todd looked at the DC F2F.

And she came out to SF one time, and I got to show her around the city and spend the day with her.

Oh, I’m so sorry to hear that. I know she had been having some health struggles. I was glad to get to see her on one of my various work trips to DC, but that was several years ago.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I drove her, Matt, and DX (I think just the three of them) around in a little New Orleans tour when the F2F was there.

Oh dear. It’s so depressing we have lost so many wonderful buffistas

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

Thank you, Vortex! I'm sad now, but better to know.

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

Oh, man. She is forever missed.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Thanks for letting us know, Vortex. So sad!

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Thanks for letting us know, Vortex.

Can I have some healing~ma for my mother? She's in the hospital, in the ICU. My dad says she's in serious condition. I'm not sure what's wrong, but it might be another UTI. Kinda scary...

Oh, thanks for letting us know, Vortex. How very sad.

And sending your mom health ~ma, Sheryl.
