We killed a homeless man on this bench. Me and Dru. Those were good times. You know, he begged for mercy, and you know, that only made her bite harder.

Happy birthday Jesse! Happy anniversary sj and teacup guy!

They're aim-ith, aim-ch, aski (as in "aye").

We have construction going on. Our front stairs (which have been rickety for a while, and actively dangerous since last year) are being completely taken out and replaced. This is good! Loud power tools and banging noises are not so good. The cats and I have objections.

Just got a call from my niece. My sister has Stage 3 breast cancer and just started chemo.

Oh Hec, I am so sorry.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Hec, that is just too much. I hope the chemo is effective for her.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Happy birthday Jesse!

Thank you, but it's Jessica!

I'm so sorry to hear about your sister, David.

Hi, I apparently can't read anything right now that isn't tech specs. HAPPY BIRTHDAY JESSICA!

Hec, I'm so sorry.

If we had a board member named Atropic, I would also confuse you with them.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020

Well, there goes my planned name change.

I would, of course, pronounce it "Louise".

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Happy birthday, Jessica!

Happy anniversary, sj and TCG!

Woot on a negative COVID test for Tim!

Hec, I'm sorry. I hope that the treatments exceed expectations.

Happy birthday, Jessica! Happy anniversary, sj! Yay Tim negative test!

Hello, MM! Long time no pixels.

Oh no, David. Tons of health~ma to your sister and family.

Matt, so much ~ma to your cats.

I went back to some of amyth's presents back when she was my seekrit santa. And that reminded me how much I love music (I don't have the time to listen to much anymore. Especially not serious-fannish listening). It is a giant gift right now, and I'm very grateful for it.

Much ~ma all around.
