And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Happy Significant Funds and Spines Day, Buffistas!

"Somewhere in this building is our talent." Toby Ziegler, my spirit animal

Good luck everybody and Shana Tova to those who celebrate(And I owe Nilly a reply to her New Year's greeting...the moment I got it was a hectic one, somehow(In a stupid way, probably) and I never got back to her--it's been a few days. I should do it before I need the forgiving, right? Probably the way the greeting would sound in my voice is why it always makes me think of the Homicide bit with Munch and Kellerman. "Say it again!" "No!" "Oy vey ist mir...I'm so meshugganeh I could plotz." (I also don't need much reason to think about that riff in Northern Exposure on how to find a Jewish name and why Spiderman doesn't exactly count, but they had a full Rosh episode...maybe that was in it. Maybe Dr. Joel didn't want to spend the important day alone.

You have until next Monday before the doors close, erika. That was a good Northern Exposure, Joel building a minyan out of the community he had rather than finding 10 Jews, if I am thinking of the right one and remembering it correctly

That which does not kill you should RUN

Tim says the surgeon said everything went well! I am loopy on pain meds and waiting while Tim goes to CVS for even more pain meds.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Excellent!

Everything went well on the transfer and I'm just waiting for the final confirmation.

At which point we will have closed escrow and I can give a set of keys to Emmett.

"Somewhere in this building is our talent." Toby Ziegler, my spirit animal

Yeah, I think that's what happened, --t, not that I fully understood it, exactly--the closest I feel to getting locked out of tradition like that might be either Super Bowl Sunday and not having a team or taking Independence Day exceptionally literally.

Thanks for checking in Steph. I’m glad things went well!
