I talked to Todd a few times at SF2F, and she was, indeed, a lovely woman. Unless I'm mistaken, one of the times was in DebG's kitchen. I'm sorry she's gone, and I wish we had been able to shower her with love.

Oof, that's super stressful, Calli, and I am crossing all the things for the upcoming interview.

My first and only F2F was DC. No idea what year that one was. I was pretty newly and fairly clunkily unlurked, so it was kind of like crashing a reunion where you didn't go to school? Y'all were very kind, though, retroactive thank you to all.

DH finally has an offer -- it hinges on whether a company contract gets renewed, though, so... here's hoping. He has another final interview with a big company, too, so there's that hope as well. It has been tough out there for a dude who was used to an industry that tended to move fast and a snap people up quickly. It's been since last August. All my fingers and toes are crossed for him, too, needless to say. Job ~ma D's way, Susan.

And saving the best for last...

Happy Birthday, Vortex! May your year ahead be fanfuckingtastic.

So sorry to hear that Toddson has passed away.
