A smile was not the reaction I had when I saw Lilibeth standing there, but it was Ziggy’s. I’m not sure he smiled because he was putting on a front for her or if he was truly delighted that now he wouldn’t be bored. Or both. I know. Or both. “Lilibeth Marks, I do declare,” […]
(Happy Thanksgiving if you’re in the US! If you’ve spent time with your biological family and now you’re ready to spend time with your chosen family instead, welcome to Daron’s. -ctan) — Bart called. I woke up with the phone ringing, and I picked it up and it was Bart. I lay on the bed, […]
Claire came out of surgery some time that evening. The words I remember the doctor using were that she was “out of immediate danger” and wondering how that was different from him saying “we’ve staved off the inevitable.” Maybe it wasn’t. I didn’t ask. Maybe Remo did. I wasn’t absorbing a lot.
The surgery went on for far longer than it should have. We’d left Memphis at lunch time, right? It seemed impossible it was already time for dinner, but the staff wanted to know if we wanted to eat. I wasn’t hungry, and neither was Remo. I gave my leftover steak to Courtney. That was when […]

Thursday’s post should come on time tomorrow, for real though! -ctan) — When we were maybe ten miles from the hospital, I could feel my anxiety winding tighter as the […]
I borrowed the phone at the host stand and then we said hasty goodbyes to Patty with many apologies for having to rush back to the hospital. She gave us back just as many apologies for having pulled us away, thanked us again for coming, etc etc. I practically ran to the car, though I […]
Before I could clear my throat–or think of what to say–Ziggy speared a snail on a miniature devil fork and said, “There is nothing I love more in this world than making music with this man.” I might have said “same” or maybe I just nodded while I coughed a bit. “Excellent. And here I […]
We went into Memphis without really knowing what to expect. Patty had told us to meet her at a landmark that everyone would know: the Peabody hotel. As we drove around looking for it I realized things looked vaguely familiar. I had been here before, on that Nomad tour, but I had been sick as […]
