This evening, as we all started gathering, slowly, into the chatroom, we had an unexpected visitor.  Mildred.  Quinn's Mildred.

Mildred just wanted to let everyone know that Quinn and his clan are together after the funeral service for his brother.  She spent a few moments with us and it was clear that she's just as wonderful as our Mighty Quinn is.  It's my hope that she'll come back to chat anytime.

Anyone who would like to join us tonight, the link is above.  Hugs to all, and to all a good night.

I sometimes wonder how Hillary and Barack really get along.  I know Hillary meets Joe Biden once a week, I think it's every Tuesday.  And I know Joe and Barack meet daily, when they're both at work....

....and I know that when I'm at work I'm still in touch with all my friends even though my office just shut down our link to facebook.

Where there's a will, there's a lawyer.

Oh, sorry, I meant way.

Where there's a will there's a way.

Because when you meet good friends, you want to keep them.  You want to keep up with them.  You care about them and you care about what they are doing and what is new in their lives and you want to stay in touch.

I wouldn't call that a clique, though.  I would instead call it just being a click away from the friends that we meet through life.  And, dayum, but I've met a lot of people here at TPM alone.  Some I've even met in person.  Most, I have not.  But I love them all and watch them all and am glad they're only a click away.

It's not a clique.  It's a click.  It's called caring.  And I care about them all and care about the new folks I haven't met yet, and the old ones who don't stay in touch as much as I'd like, and even the ones I disagree with.

Cuz, dayum, we're only a click away.

I love you all.  Kisses and hugs and good night!
