You're wrong about River. River's not on the ship. They didn't want her here, but she couldn't make herself leave. So she melted... Melted away. They didn't know she could do that, but she did.

So good to hear, ita! Also, astonished that this is your sis's first hurricane. She musta been abroad quite a lot?

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

Glad to hear things are relatively ok.

When Mr. Jane told me about where it was hitting, with relief (cause we were keeping an eye on NO), and I freaked a bit, he couldn't understand why, then went, "Oh! A buffista?" He keeps forgetting that in addition to the people I've met, I have other friends from all over the place.

The status is NOT quo.

Glad your family is okay, ita.

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

We both were. She's only been back full time for a couple years.

in addition to the people I've met, I have other friends from all over the place

Heh. Has he read Vampire People?

I'll make sure to tell my family of the well wishes--they are very appreciated.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

He read the essay about Nilly, and then whined at me for making him cry.

My sister gets the book tomorrow. I'm very excited.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I'm glad to hear everyone is okay, ita.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

I listened to y'all while getting dressed to head up to the bar to help Mr. Jane open. When I got there, I was a little put out because I realized it wouldn't be on the jukebox.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

lisah, these are the sentences I'm currently wrestling with:

Bebop subdivided the rhythm until swing was something you did between your ears instead of out on the dance floor. There was a time from the twenties through the mid-forties, though, when swing was "hot rhythm" and moved through every popular music. That's the music that Dan Hicks plays, and there's no one word for it because it wasn't limited to any one genre. Django Reinhardt and the Mills Brothers and Bob Wills and the Boswell sisters and the Modernaires all swung.
