Celebrate the good stuff. And we'll work on the rest. Happy New Year, and thanks to you and others here for your friendship, your pointed barbs, and your amusing musings.

In line with celebrating the good stuff, I've learned that a client of mine led the team that developed the stents they stuck in my heart. This is the kind of stuff that makes me feel really good about what I do.
I've also been prescribed drugs where my clients were listed among the inventors before. They've played a big role in treating my cancers.

That's awesome! I go to my client for some things, and it's always a pretty funny visit because inevitably we end up talking shop.
I chose NOT to go to my client for anything Kanan related, because I want the focus on him, not me.

I went to Hawaii so that I could make 2023 last just that much longer, and then the 737 issues stranded us there for a while longer. Hard to complain about being trapped there, but I can do it.
eta: Tropical storm in O'ahu on Monday led to rolling blackouts, one of which happened just as we were about to take a crowded elevator to our AirBnB on the 16th floor. Thankfully, the doors hadn't quite closed, karmic repayment for our holding them open so that another family could board.

Whoa, so you took the stairs or found a lower place to stay until power was back. PS after that I'm not sure I'd get on the elevator even after power came back.

We took the stairs, which wasn't so bad. I didn't think my wife was going to take the elevator the next morning, but once we learned that the blackouts had been planned and scheduled by the power company, the elevator didn't seem quite so scary.
During the blackouts, people came out onto their balconies all over Waikiki with their phone or flashlights -- it was pretty cool, like the videos of people banging pots and pans in Italy early in the pandemic.

Re: Implanting Bill Gates's Micro-chips In Brains For Over 20 Years!
So, another "Fuck Cancer" post. My wife was diagnosed with breast cancer last month. She had surgery on Tuesday of this week; waiting on pathology but optimistic. Due to winter storms and power outages, she has yet to sleep in her own bed since surgery, which is really starting to wear on her. Hotel to friends' house to my mom's house. Timing could not have been worse.

Ugh, I am so sorry to hear. Prayers for her recovery.

Very sorry to hear that. Hang in there.

Dammit. Fuck cancer, and I hope by now you have received good news.

Fuck cancer and I hope your house survived the storm and related power outages. Our neighborhood got a lot of ice (5/8-3/4") but seems to have been sheltered from the wind, so we lost neither trees nor power. Friends over the hill were not so lucky.

We have been without power since Sunday afternoon, and I have to say that I'm getting tired of the vicious coffeehouse competition for outlets. And after I spent a bit of time and money making short ribs and scalloped potatoes last weekend, it was crushing to throw most of them out, along with everything else in our fridge.

Seems like it.
PG&E has pushed back its estimate for the fix four times this week, and are now saying tomorrow afternoon at 5 pm.
On the plus side, I'm going to see Yo La Tango tonight. So I got that going for me. Which is nice.

The club has power, or are they acoustic?
