I am supposed to present an award in a few hours so I'm trying to jot down some notes. I'm hoping some loose bullet points will give me a coherent enough through-line without resorting to reading a speech. Public speaking is very much not my wheelhouse.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

I’m so sorry to hear about Todd.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
I wish I knew what year I started lurking.
LA F2F although I don't recall the year. Well, I never really lurked. I *think* I found Buff Diving and then finding the Board that night or the next day.

Our wings are not tired
Yeah, I found the board a little bit before the LA F2F

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I stumbled onto TT sometime in 2000 - I was just out of college and working as a temp, mostly on receptionist gigs that left me with a LOT of time to waste online in-between answering phones.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I came here after the board address was on the last aired episode of Firefly which I think was around the LA F2F. I certainly saw pics from that during my fairly long lurk before posting. Took me a looong time to work up the nerve to post in Natter! Though I was in the show threads and even Bitches before that.
Spent the last two days lying down in a darkened room with a headache (not, I think, a migraine but persistent and wobbly-making) and today I am reporting for jury duty. Called in Friday to be told to call in again on Monday to be told to come to the courthouse, we’ll see what happens next.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
Was talking with Mac last night about jury duty. He thinks he would get too mad if he thought justice was not being served.
He’s been watching stories about false accusations and people serving time that are later revealed to be innocent and he is big mad.
We talked for a while about it last night and I told him about Emmett Till and the Innocence Project and how serving on a jury might be the voice that stops injustice from happening. And how local elections are the ones that affect who the DA is and oversight on police and prosecutors.
I love his justice minded heart. Would love if he would channel that into something.
