Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

Our wings are not tired.

but now that there is a Strands archive I feel I need to not only keep playing it, but also go back and do the ones I've missed.

Oh dear, now I have to look and see for myself. I blew through them all my games today, even all the Pips levels, so apparently I braining okay.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Happy Birthday Trudy!

Try DMing Cash, Brenda? I don't have her email...but then who does email anymore?

Happy stove, David.

Your day sounded dizzying, Steph.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Your day sounded dizzying, Steph.

I still have a haircut in half an hour. And then I am going to eat some oatmeal and go to bed.
