I'm sitting warm and cozy at home. I am forced to go to a different dog park for the next few months because my usual park is just jammed with events and has inadequate parking. Tennis championships, pickleball, soccer, and the Ice Arena, War Memorial Auditorium, and Parker Playhouse. Pretty much every day for the last couple of weeks, I get there and find people directing traffic to special parking sections. When I can't find a place to park, the dog gets very frustrated with me.
I absolutely love that there is so much happening in my city all the time, but it is at the cost of my practical needs at times. Fortunately, there are other dog parks.
Now I am debating cleaning some section of my terribly neglected condo, or going for a swim. I got my lab test report this morning and everything was just fine, except my cholesterol, which sucks, so changes have to happen. A summer of living in dairy country across the way from fresh farm eggs did not do my arteries any favors.
I’m sorry I haven’t been here in forever, but I wanted to let you know that Norah passed away earlier this week. Cody wanted you to know how important the Buffistas has been to her, and to him. There will be services after the holidays, but no date has been set yet.
Damn! JZ and I had a lovely brunch with Burrell and Cody when we visited in LA way back when.
Jacqueline was always very sweet on their love story.
What heartbreaking news. Thanks for sharing, Polgara. Please give our love to Cody.
Such heartbreaking news. I've often wondered how she was doing. Sending love and wishes for comfort to all her loved ones.
I forgot to mention, Cody doesn’t want this on Facebook.
I'm so sorry to hear that. Heartbreaking.
Holy shit, Norah?? But she’s young! Though I guess time passes and their kids probably are much older than I imagine that’s still awful.
Wow, I didn't know she'd been sick.
Not that we talked more than a few times outside the board context...there could be a lot of time for wonderful or terrible things.
Still, not the result you're thinking of when you think "Haven't heard from her in a while,"(Except from my grandma's hospice doctor..kind of took mental points off for him that it didn't cross *his* mind, though I guess once she failed, it was super-fast. )
Anyway...
Timelies all!
Sigh...I've got a bunch of forms I need to fill out for the psychologist we're looking into for Mr. S when he gets out. Despite the fact that Gary's the one who contacted them, I'm listed as Parent #1. I'm gonna need Gary's help for the forms, but Mr. S is here for the weekend, and tends to want Gary with him all the time. So it looks like Sunday evening will be spent doing these forms, as we have an intake Zoom meeting on Monday.
Oh I’m so upset. Norah’s children are 22 and, I think, 20. Which is adult but not very old to lose their mother.
