A Note About a Thing
Posted on September 10, 2023 Posted by John Scalzi 10 Comments

My wife threw me a surprise party yesterday, to which dozens of friends from all across the country showed up, and I was so surprised and overwhelmed and happy I did not actually take a single picture, which if you know me is highly uncharacteristic. I’m still slightly dazed from it.
So quickly:
For everyone who was able to make it, thank you for making it such a wonderful day.
For everyone who wanted to come but couldn’t, you were there in spirit and very much appreciated.
For everyone else who are hearing about it for the first time right now, well, it was a surprise to me, too, I’m sure you would have been there if you had known.
Thank you again. What a lovely day we had.

It was not a birthday party. Not for me, anyway. More details on Wednesday.
😋🎉 yup, she’s a pretty special lady… love and happiness to you both!
How lovely! It sounds as though you had a wonderful day, so yay!
Move over, Oscars and Met Gala. THIS was Definitely the hottest and most exclusive ticket of the season!
I think she may be a keeper…
Congratulations on whatever (hah!) it was you celebrated that we find out about on Wednesday!
Sounds like a great time. Surprise fun is always a plus. And sometimes, ya know, just celebrating being alive is enough of an excuse.
Happy non-birthday to you!
so…on COVID watch now because of this event?
There should be more “no reason” parties!
That is just wonderful. I’m delighted for you 🎉
