Thanks, both recent and overdue.

To my Tesser friends: Thanks for the mellow hangover today. Thanks for reminding me why I left and also why I stayed as long as I did. I truly miss seeing you kids daily. Thanks for reminding me that I need to update my website and blog.

Thanks to Cale for picking me up at BART! Hahhaa yeah! You rule!!

To my Kansas City friends: In case you didn't know, I thank you all so so much for going out with me whilst I was in KC. I loved it so much. It made me so happy. I wish I had a thing like in The Fly so I could pop over to KC anytime and see you all, except for one not with a fly in it. You are all marvelous beyond mention.

To my wonderful family to be: Thank you for reading and for taking such good care of Cale and I. I appreciate you all so much and am really looking forward to spending Christmas with you. I am glad we can gather for a more happy occasion.

And other notes, perhaps of interest, perhaps not:

Today I am listening to Prince and Tom Waits and preparing to make some chutney.

We are the proud owners of a brand new washer and drier! My personal level of domestic bliss has increased ten-fold. Now our clothes have quite a crisp energy and smell of clean and fresh metal.

Ken, next time I see you you'd better be wearing that mullet wig!

That is all for now. Millefois merci, vraiment.
