Everybody dies, Tracey. Someone's carrying a bullet for you right now, doesn't even know it. The trick is to die of old age before it finds you.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Me too, though it was expected, what with the new job and all.

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

We are having Ploughman's Lunch for dinner (kind of an oxymoron). We had it last night and it was yum and perferct for the hot weather.

I had the Kat's-cheap version of a ploughman's lunch for dinner last night and breakfast this AM. But for lunch, I had a salad at Mo's. Twas good.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

What's a ploughman's lunch?

Was just about to ask that.

Cheese, pickle, salad, bread and butter.

and in my cheap version:

cheese, salami, salad, bread and butter

Ploughman's Lunch. That's the thing I learned today.

There was a chesse & stuff shop on my way home from work at the last place I lived in VA, and if I knew I wasn't going to feel like cooking, I'd pick up salami, cheese, and bread (I had the butter at home) for dinner. No healthy salad most of the time, sad to say.

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

The salads I've had with Ploughman's Lunches haven't been all that healthy, JenP, so you're most of the way there.

yeah a salad is a big name for sort of sad little iceberg leaves.

Oh yum. But how is salami cheaper than pickle??
