Oh, no. Death issues always suck.

(sympathetic head bobs)

PF, I echo the thoughts expressed. Very sorry that Erok has passed away. I know we've lost animals that we dearly loved and I like to hold out hope that God would not deny creations filled with such love and devotion a place in His kingdom.

It's back to Capclave s/f convention for me today: got to open the game room at 0900, presenting a marathon of various crd games today.

Sounds like you'll have a fun day. For sure, we'll be hoping that you do. Let us know how it went! :thumbs:

Well, that was a busy but worthwhile convention. Ran the board gaming room, as usual. Got to play a couple of new ones, qand the room in general was more populated that it usually has been.

Great Good to hear attendance was up. Well, no doubt they had the best running the gaming room. :)

Have a great day.

Feel like shit. Absolute shit. How's your day?

Not too bad. Almost over now (10:30pm Thur). Had some dental work done on both my wife and myself. First time in years I've had to have some "maintenance" work done aside from annual cleanings. Friday now will be busy. In the morning we'll visit shut-ins at a senior residence. Probably see about 12 from our church or folks that like to attend the little communion service we hold. We visit different places once each month … either at homes or senior community facilities in our town. Very, very rewarding. Then, it's off to Peoria to see our insurance agent and get our new (used) car insured so we can get the title switched, the car registered and licensed. Busy day, I'm afraid.

A tribute to Elijah Cummings, that seems right on the money:

Wheeeee, I have a meeting today to go over the hotel contract for an upcoming s/f convention.

Hope your meeting went well and that the convention will be a super success. Getting ready to call it a night. Rained a lot today. Don't know exactly how much but I'm sure an inch or two would be almost the minimum. That together with some pretty strong winds made it a very chilly day, too. Damp and chilly.

I know, it's early for me to call it a night, but I just feel pooped. Probably a good time to call it quits … right? Nighty night.

Today is National Black Cat Day:

Although we have no pets right now, we've had a number of black cats of the years. There was Midnight, Midnight 2, Midnight Blue (Blue Eyes), Takishima San, and Jasmine (at different times. Also other cats, Cally (a calico) and Stud (our son named that one), and a couple of more that I can't think of their names at the moment. Anyway we loved them all but the black ones were the most common color we had.

Well, the rain held off long enough for us to get some trick-or-treaters last night. That's a happy thing.

Mickey and I kinda went together and betweem Donald's and Mickey's youngin's weez had a pretty durn gud time dats fer shore. Any who, Lot of fun and da kids (small and big) all seems to have enjoyed it. :)
