Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

Hey guys. Sorry I missed the memorial and the live stream. David, if I haven't said it, condolonces for you and your family.

The only excitement we've had down here was my folks in Houston losing power or a day or so after the storm, and even then they had the generator Dad installed after the big freeze a few years ago.

Shir, glad to hear you had a good time in the States and may your luggage fly to you on wings of song.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

We have an app, but it's not a standalone thing. It plays with our IAM products.

Plei getting me to Ballard might be difficult, but I am willing to do it on occasion! Especially if you manage to pirate that show I was telling you about....

Right! I knew there was something I was meaning to hunt down!

Maybe we should attempt Seattleista coffee or something once a month rotating between our locations...

Where do you come from? Where do you go? What is your scene, baby? We just gotta know.

I am home, and exhausted.

This too shall pass.

Today we celebrate Java cat on her birthday! It was so wonderful to see you in SF. I hope that you have a perfect day and that the year to come is filled with good health and happiness.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I think I’m booking vacation flight and hotel(vrbo) today. …flailing…. Mid October to Paris for a week.

It's actually been a really hard year, when you stop and do the math. Eliot would cry, too, if it didn't take him seventy minutes of therapy, two cocktails, and a Sondheim medley before he can experience a human emotion through the haze of his PTSD.

msbelle, that sounds amazing!

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Seemingly, the French postal service is planning to have scratch-and-sniff stamps that will smell of fresh baguettes. I wonder how much mail will be eaten.

Punishingly Intricate

That’s so exciting, msbelle!!! I’m working on coordinating a trip to Paris with my Mom and my aunt who’s husband just passed.

The wide universe is the ocean I travel, and the earth is my blue boat home

I am down for monthly seattlista attempts, or something!
