Oh dear. Two sick kiddies at once….. I hope they improve quickly. Take good care of yourself, too. 😔

Didn’t level it, or maybe the oven doesn’t distribute the heat evenly?

For several years on National Pie Day J & I used to host a party & bake the pie of your choice for a donation of at least $31.40 to benefit MSK. I have pics somewhere of like 20 pies arranged on our piano, just as people began arriving.

I feel for you. Jay, ever hopeful, asked his Whipple surgeon what he should be doing differently going forward in order to enhance his survival prospects. The surgeon replied “take those trips you’ve always wanted to take, and get your affairs in order.” It was disheartening, to say the least.

Nice to have what amounts to a “work family.” I was thinking just yesterday that I never managed that — which is 100% on me. My work was something that paid the bills, and I couldn’t wait to get home.

Pies, too?! My goodness but you are versatile.
Thanks for all you do for the pancreas community — you and everyone else at the HF Center 💜

Problems with building contractors can do that to a brain. Hope your project is coming along.

Kind of thought I’d figured it out after guess #2, but I was wrong!

Yes. That palpable sense of dread or unease is evident from the outset, and the Chapter 1 setting on the Thames reminds us that the darkness is everywhere, and it’s not tied to place or time. I haven’t found my copy yet, but thanks for this re-read reminder.

That’s about as long a Yellow Brick Road as I’ve ever seen. But you made it!

The possibilities seemed endless — even with the first two greens.
Luck! 🍀

Neat pointing index finger.

The time between amassing all those letters in guess #2 and finally creating a viable structure in guess #3 is embarrassing!
After two twos in two I was expecting a 5/6 or 6/6, so I’m pleased.
