Because I'm just stubborn that way -

Folks in Las Vegas, when would you like us to come visit? We're needing to see at least two shows, and we want a vacation that won't suck. That means we want to see people who love seeing us. Ante up.

Folks in Cleveland, it looks like it'll be the week of June 2nd - yes, we'll be nearby for a family reunion, and I want a replay of the roadtrip in 2000. You want us, all ya have to do is ask for it. Uh, US.

Folks in Switzerland, I'm considering a trip in August or September. SERIOUSLY considering. You want us, you can have us - all you have to do is say so.

..

To me, heaven is not a place where you stop doing everything. Hell would be where I'd stop doing everything and never do a single thing again.

And I freely admit it - when life was going south for Cliff, the only thing he could think about was taking a trip. I'm afraid that's rubbed off a bit on me.

Struggling to maintain equilibrium here - she's been in my life over 25 years, and we are not alike in any way; she is difficult to deal with, opinionated as all hell and we had little in common.

Yet, we never argued. Never fought. We were never angry with each other. She never created issues with my BIL or my sister over issues she may have had with me. She always, always remembered me no matter what - in marriage, in death, in every Christmas...in short, she was family who never gave me grief. (She gave plenty to others, but not me.)

Hers is another passing I can't begrudge. I only hope it won't take long to let her go. She's been terribly unhappy for too many years.

AMEN. Heaven, to me, would be being busy all day, every day, and never getting tired or sick. Baking bread, pulling weeds, changing diapers, writing novels... I don't care. Years of disability have turned me into a doing-junkie.

May you find solace in your memories of her. May she find peace and joy.

You are also welcome up here any time, and I will try to keep Raven from chewing on unclejimbo's shoes.

I think I'm pretty much available except for those times when I'm away. I was thinking of visiting NY over my birthday in May, and I'm also visiting Disneyland again over Feb 9th-11th, and of course the usual con season stuff. Other than that, Vegas is here and I'm always here. I have the unusual schedule of friday and saturdays off, normal workweek I do work until 12am, so generally days off would be the only time to hang as most normal folk don't stay up that late. And while I'd love to offer a place to crash, it's not my home (my dad's) and we do not have guest rooms or the like at this moment.

Since Jim is off Fridays and Saturdays too - that works out.

(Also, we're planning a big Disney blitz for his birthday over the 24th of March - you might want to pencil that in....)

Pick something between here and Memorial Day - throw a dart at the calendar. I'll see how many of the shows we want to see, we can get in to - and go from there.

(Normal Con season? Dude, I only do AX and AOD right now....)

Vegas SOON ( I hope to be gone in a month)

Well, I'm in Las Vegas, but I hope to get a job in the Portland area soon (interviewing on the 29th).
