Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

Congrats on the new place, Trudy!

I hope you got good test results today, dcp.

We had several in person meetings today, and they were exhausting. Not bad, just a lot. I’m too used to working from my recliner, with a cat on my lap.

Yay new nanny, Sheryl!

Fingers crossed on negative COVID tests for all!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Feel better, Tim! Hope all went well, dcp. Good luck with the nanny, Sheryl. And other reactions as appropriate!

As I did so I could hear my liberal devoted Democrat mother saying "where did I go wrong with him", as she said so often the last few years before she died.

UGH.

I guess I was taken with the spirit of msbelle over the weekend, because I just ordered a silver tinsel tree! It will apparently get here next week. Now I have to decide if/how I will get some real greenery into the house.

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

No new mets, no growing mets. As good as could be hoped for. Thanks.

My childhood tree! I recommend getting the color wheel as well.

No new mets, no growing mets.

Oh yeah, I think this might be your fault!
