Wesley: Feng Shui. Gunn: Right. What's that mean again? Wesley: That people will believe anything. Actually, in this place, Feng Shui will probably have enormous significance. I'll align my furniture the wrong way and suddenly catch fire or turn into a pudding.

Frank, nobody was ever convicted of the Borden murders -- Lizzie was tried and found not guilty.

Right, but a lot of people still thought she had done it. If I remember correctly, the gist of the defense was "a woman wouldn't be capable of this" even though the evidence pretty much pointed right at her. While a number of people bought the premise of the defense, a lot of people didn't as well.

Ann, that's a ferret.

ETA: Actually, that doesn't look satisfying.

There are other theories as to who killed the Bordens. But I think it's safe to say that most people believe Lizzie did it.

Is S at least doing better?

For very loose values of "better." It's an ongoing problem that's eventually going to need something major to take care of it. She's better enough to be home from the hospital, but there's going to be ups and downs until it's resolved.

Is work bringing on the upset, or is this related to S?

It's related to S's problems. Not her in specific, of course, but frustrations over trying to take care of her and get her the help she needs.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I always feel so sad for Princess Masako. Maybe this will help, at least taking the disappointment of a nation off her some. [link]

What is even happening?

The distinction I was trying to make was between sure and possible, Frank. I don't know if they've done modern day (DNA and whatever) analysis of the Borden murder evidence, or how untainted that evidence was kept over the past 110+ years.

Ah, gotcha.

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

The fan-into-face thing was an accident, and a stupid one. I was trying to get the fan to wedge into our window, and had hooked the top under the open pane while trying to shove up and in on the bottom. The top edge slipped off the pane and hit me right in the mouth, giving my a nice bloody lower lip and a throbbing upper lip/septum.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Thanks, Trudes. I'll need two, though.
