Hey, preaching to the choir. I thought our Lady of the Perpetual Sea Breeze was the real deal until the Divine Miss J walked right through that door and right into my ass—which is where my heart is…physiologically. I could show you an x-ray.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

Ah, I understand the sticker now! At first I was all like, "But her face is right in front of them! Why do they need a sticker?"

Would like to boggle at Corwood's doctor, but know too many people like that to be able to bring myself to.

Waves at Corwood!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

The ENT physician I saw this morning made an unfortunate assumption about me after finding out that I'm from Alabama and work for the Legislature in this state. This led to his observations about how unfit women's brains are for anything other than raising children and how wonderful it is to be white and Southern and male. I wanted to point out that just being fat and having sideburns doesn't make me Toby Keith, but he kept sticking pointy metal things into my nose, so I was loathe to piss him off.

Wait. What?

Corwood, you should not only get another doctor, you should complain to the practice about this one.

"Were you aware that you have a bigoted misanthrope looking after your patients?"

Anyway, married couples aren't even the majority amoung households anymore. [link]

This gives me hope that in my lifetime I'll be able to dine out alone in a new restaurant and not be squeezed into a corner next to the kitchen or restroom doors.

What is even happening?

Corwood, my sympathies. My dentist saw the cross I wear (not a metaphor) and mistook it for political affiliation. He's a good dentist, so I'm not leaving him to find another, but I waited 'til after he was done mucking with me to disabuse him of his notion of my opinion on reproductive freedoms.

I'm gonna ask to take half a day off, anyway, Cindy. That was I can tackle these notes.

Yay, note tackling! The book just keeps getting closer and closer to something I can read, and put on my shelves, and squee over at random moments, when it catches my eye. Owning a copy might even induce me to dust.

You've got enough gas to get home?

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

I always wonder how difficult it must be to be so willfully ignorant.

Corwood's doctor doesn't exist. See, Allyson--it's not that hard.

Jesse, if you really loved me, you'd bankroll my modest lifestyle.

Aw, you made me miss Narrator. She's been too scarce.

I keep saying that to other people, and it hasn't worked for me yet! You're barking up the wrong tree, my friend. I'm sure there are people way richer than me way closer to you.

Don't most people who get their lifestyles bankrolled for them have to opt for the immodest variety?

Allyson, can you put a word in for me with Tim? I won't even need a pony.
