Aha! All the potential lives in the one card. I'd still rather see some multiplication, but I can live with that.
Come on. You drop by for a cup of coffee, and the world's not ending? Please.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
Think of it from Charlie's point of view. You pick one card from three. That leaves Charlie with three possible combinations of two cards:
goat/goat
car/goat
goat/car
Charlie reveals a goat card. The three possibilities for his hidden card are reduced to:
goat
car
car
If you switch with Charlie you go from one chance in three to win, to two chances in three.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
I also need to start working on the Miracleborns. What, 6 hours in the car with a baby could be fun!
Specially now that we have the Miracleborn Stealth MiniVan.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Tim, the manager of Emmett's Little League Team, is gone this weekend so I'm running the team.
The last time I was in charge of running the team Emmett broke his nose.
Wish me some safe-ma today.
On the plus side, I get to set the pitching and positions for today and tomorrow's game. Fantasy Manager Land!
JZ continues her community service (for parking tix) by spending all day at a Circus Arts Benefits performance. It's a long day, but on the whole considerably more fun than picking up trash along the freeway.
And tomorrow is our paper anniversary.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Hec, I sent JZ an email about this, but we need to figure out tomorrow. When would be a good time to call her?

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Started the day by having a bottle of shower gel slip out of my hands and hit me in the foot, cap side down.(Hard enough to raise a welt =and= draw blood)Walking's a little unfun at the moment.
We went looking at houses today. One serious contender among the single-family homes.

Hey, it's JZ. I'm just fixing lunch; call me in 15?

Sure, assuming that was for me.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
Eeek!
I don't know whether the Southern Hemisphere overall is colder than the Northern, or hotter -- but I do know that the landlocked South Pole is seriously colder than the North Pole, because of the warming effect of the Arctic Ocean, even ice-covered as it is.
