Hmm. It's sounds like the finest party I can imagine getting paid to go to.

"You can't put a price on the joy of not giving a shit." -Zenkitty

Personally, I wouldn't think very much of getting money as a wedding gift. It seems a little tacky.

Well, we're horribly tacky here in the midwest. I've been giving money at the wedding for the last however many years, although I get a gift off the registry for showers.

That said, most of the people I know who've gotten married in recent years already have their houses and salad shooters, and have less of a need for Stuff.

I often am not a creative gift-giver.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

The emails are from him, mostly. I only work that job Mondays and Thursdays, so I'll be there in the morning, but there should be no expectation that I'm working there today. As I, in fact, am not.

Jesse, the next time there's a crisis do you want people to be emailing you and then getting upset that you weren't there to answer? Do you?!? Put down the reply button and back away slowly.

Ah, then ignore away, I say. Of course, were it my old boss, he'd have called my cell, my house, the bar, anyone who knows me & so on.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

But, Hec, I didn't get a trim, I got a whole new haircut--a shortish shag and I look fabulous, honest. Good enough for Stephen "I Love Scrappy" Colbert.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

He does have my cell number, I'm pretty sure, so I figure he can either figure that out or figure out that he doesn't need me anyway, as the piece of paper he's looking for is sitting on top of my desk in addition to being saved whereever he saved it in the computer.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Boo!!

Launch Director Mike Leinbach has scrubbed the launch for today. One of four low-level fuel cutoff sensors is not functioning properly.

See how your boldness is repaid! I will now stand by your side and defend against all other Colbert claimants.

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

I'll tell Stephen you guys said hi when I see him next week.

You should probably kiss him for Scrappy to give her a report.

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated

I can't find a picture of a cat in a bishop's hat, and I really really want to see it.
