It's like, in the middle of all this, I'm paranoid that you'll think I don't like poetry.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Or is that 5am Wednesday?

That'd be my guess, but it still doesn't make a lot of sense the way they phrased it.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Perkins, is this the same relative with the funny bling will stories?

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

I have to admit, I wondered about that when you told me the story.

Yeah, but as fuck yous go, this was a pretty wimpy one (even assuming it was meant as one, which I am not sure of), since it did save on taxes, and my aunt knew there was no way we would ever stop them from going.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I have family in Scituate! But they live in a whole house and everything.

The house by the entrance to the beach that we go to there is now owned by the guy who was the principal on Ed, and every time we go, we stand outside having loud conversations about him.

Nope. That was my mom's mom, while it was my father's sister who left us the house.

Plus, you'd eventually get it anyway.

That too, which is where the tax savings come in.

I remain bitter about the loss of the family home in Old Orchard Beach, ME, as well as the NYC apartments where my grandmother's uncle and cousin lived.

Even though none of those places has been in the family in decades.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

In Cincinnati, people (not my family) have houses/condos in Florida, with the occasional house in Michigan. Not as practical as just zipping down to the beach from Manhattan. And yet, it's What We Do.

Heh. I figured someone might. Small world, but not THAT small. Near as I can figure, they were there '68-'70, since 2 2-year appointments followed before they got tenure track and got themselves knocked up with me in '74. (Seriously, my timing was due to "permanent health insurance!" Romantic, eh?)

I can't find the latest Chapman lyrics online from home. This is annoying.
