See what I mean? 2 years after my initial #ValentinesDay post, here we are at @mamacarollas, celebrating our being together (safe and distanced). And she (@INQuilter) remains magnificent, and I remain grateful to God. I know I am sustained by God's grace, when I see this face.

@ThatEricAlper At one time, there was a name on the tip of my tongue, though sadly it's no longer there. He shamelessly struck it from my vocabulary, and I can never forgive him.

@TheSpaceshipper I wonder if it wasn't possible, in the end, for the weight of the two extensions in the model (what Trek would call the "nacelles") to have been supported by those thin pylons, as McQ envisioned them. Would they have dangled, or even broken off?
@JeriLRyan Thank you most of all, Jeri, for the selfie exchanges. You've let us see you as you are, and realize that true beauty comes from two places: 1) within your soul, and 2) the family who fuels that soul. May you always have an abundance of both...in whatever quadrant we find you.
In a weird way, I think that the destruction of this platform by an arrogant billionaire with no understanding of how humans interact with one another sort of brought us all closer together again.
