Cash, thank you! I'd forgotten how I loved that book. (What can I say, I spent the time not reading inappropriate stuff on a serious pioneer and native kick. I viscerally remember driving from the Grand Canyon, window open, wind blowing my braids, imagining myself a cliff dweller. Which is funny, and yet... I still get chills visiting those places, wondering. And now being grateful for my internet and women's lib!)

Huh. I had chicken marsala the other day and I don't remember it being noticably sweet. Is it normally?

If I only had a brain...
Betsy, do we need equipment for that?
I'm going with the massed power of bitterness, cynicism, and despair.

There exists sweet marsala and dry marsala. You have to pick your marsala carefully.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
If you could just beam the bitterness, cynicism, and despair, I think that should do the trick nicely. I'm happy to beam any minimal sinus headaches I should happen to get, if it's any help. You know, to the nation.
Also, I don't think of chicken marsala as sweet, but I love, love it.

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

Hey Kat, I have a query you may or may not be able to answer. What might be a good book for an 11 year old girl?
Hmmm... There's a series of mysteries with a narrator named Sammy Keyes who is this 7th grader living illegally with her grandmother in a retirement apartment setting. I love those books and kids do too. She's fun. She's spunky. She is a regular kid.
Esperanza Rising, by Pam Munoz Ryan is this great story about a girl who was wealthy in Mexico, but her dad dies and suddenly her family is forced to immigrate to California. Sad but beautiful with a not-sad ending.
Everything on a Waffle is good fun.

I use 1000 mg of calcium combined with 500 mg of magnesium plus niacinimide (no flushing) and feverfew. I found them recommended in a book called "The Vitamin Bible" when I was having daily headaches and had no health insurance.
Were you having migraines? I'm not asking snottily--I just know the pathologies can vary, so I wanted the context.
