“And I’m like, ‘Sure, but what is he selling, the Magna Carta?’ ”
Heh.
You never know if a girl's gonna say 'yes', or if she's gonna laugh in your face and pull out your still-beating heart and crush it into the ground with her heel.

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

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
The lede on the Magna Carta story amuses me:
The 2,500 words fill a page that is a couple of inches shorter than this one, but almost as wide.
Because I'm thinking, so wait, the Magna Carta is less than 1024x768? That's not so magna at all!

ION, the temperature dropped 10 degrees. And it's really gray out there.

And always twirling, twirling, twirling towards freedom!
This makes me think of pasties, with tassles. Twirling on jiggling boobies. Mmm.
Um. Can you tell my frustrations caused me to open a beer at 2:30pm today?

Warwak, a former fishing guide, said he became a vegan in January.
He's probably haunted by fishy ghosts.
A couple of fairly remote cousins have done most of the geneological heavy lifting for my ancestors who were in Massachusetts in the 1630s. No one's been able to trace Morris Tucker back to England, though. As one of those cousins once said, "I can get him back to the water but I can't get him on that damn boat." My suspicion, from what we know about him, is that he may have been an indentured servant, and they were frequently not listed separately. I could probably find out more about the Czech side now that there's an internet, but I don't know where to start. On the Irish side, it looks like I need some birth and death records from Buffalo, NY, and the last time I checked, they were still not online. I don't care enough to actually go to Buffalo.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

So I should take a jacket and/or umbrella when I leave for my 5pm meeting?

Not even to shuffle off there?

Umbrella.
I mean, it's still 71 degrees out. (It got up to 82 out here.)
But considering how windy it is -- the jacket might stand you in better stead than the umbrella in protecting you from rain.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I am back from Dramatic Reversal Morning.
Had a job interview for a temp assignment. Turned out they actually wanted a Visual Basic programmer but only wanted to pay Word Processor rates. That was beyond my scope.
Went by my temp agency and they had nothing.
Which sucks because we are really, really scraping after my last month of partial work finishing the book.
And then as I wandered the streets and felt stressed and disconsolate got a call from my agency. They've got a job that starts tomorrow at one of my regular places and it goes for two months. Woot! That will make a big difference.
