Okay

I've been home for almost 48 hours. Will someone boot me in the keester to get me started writing again, please?

Also? List of things that need to be done before I head down to Oregon at the end of May? Is as long as my arm. Or longer, perhaps.

Well. That was completely unnecessary.

All of a sudden just now I heard rushing water upstairs. Dashed up there to find two completely fuzzed-up cats and the bathtub faucet running full blast. No, I don't know how they managed it. I'm sure glad they didn't do it while I was in Texas, though, and I suspect the next time I'm gone overnight I'll be shutting the bathroom door.

well, go, Boston!

And everyone in Massachusetts, IMHO. Esp. your cops.

May you have many more marathons, but with nothing more eventful than excitement over who won.

I am so sorry for your losses.
