Brokenhearted to learn that Shel Israel passed away today.
I met Shel in the mid 2000s when I worked in Silicon Valley. That meeting resulted in me being included in his book Twitterville. It sits in a place of honour on my bookshelf today. Rest well Shel ❤️ May your memory be a blessing for us all.

This is heartbreaking. I'm filled with rage and fear.

I can't believe it's seven years since we lost Anthony Bourdain.
I'll always treasure meeting him with my dear friends @idarose.bsky.social and Neil Hendin way back in 2004 during my San Francisco/Silicon Valley days. I still have a signed Les Halles cookbook. And this photo ♥️💔

I met him before he was President. Political junkie that I am, I had followed his career of service amid personal tragedies. Our conversation was brief and ended with a hug. I'll never forget it.
Thinking of you today, President Biden. Wishing you strength and courage as you fight this new battle.

15 years ago I brought these two home with me. Over the years, they've been my everything.
My beautiful Grace has been gone three years now.
Handsome Reilly is still here, hovering around 17 - a bit more rickety, but ever loyal, ever loving.
I'm thankful that we've been a family all this time ❤
