Spike: Heard what happened up top, offing your dad and all. Don't know if you know this, but, uh…I killed my mum. Actually, I'd already killed her, and then she tried to shag me, so I had to-- Wesley: Thank you. I'm…very comforted.

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

I was living in California, so her request that I act as POA was unworkable

I was told that my parents being in Jamaica should serve no obstacle to them being my PoA. I mean, whoever's going to be mine will live in at least a different country, never mind state.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020

Well, I admit to having bullshitted her a bit. I *could* have been her PoA, sure, but I didn't want to be and I also honestly felt that that duty would be better handled by someone who lived closer to her. Like my uncle.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Babe, just occured to me: think of our conversation in the car this morning.

Now think of this: We each are the designated plug pullers for our mothers.

Happy Birthday, Tom!!

Speaking of SF and it's complexes, I just bought tix to come out there at the end of May. Woot!!!

Happy Scola Day! I hope you are feeling better, and that you don't have to jump through anyone else's hoops.

Happy Birthday Tom!

Ooh, that sounds good! I had a well-balanced dinner, in stages, that ended up being one thing too many:

1) small bowl of chili

2) small tortilla with cheese

3) brocolli with ranch dressing
4) thin mints

Woman, did you learn nothing from Monty Python's The Meaning of Life?!?

I will sleep soundly tonight.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Um, yes. I did learn nothing. I actually don't think I've ever seen The Meaning of Life.

What crucial lesson did I miss??

It's the mint at the end that will kill you.

The danger of finishing off a big meal with a wafer-thin mint. Though I wouldn't recommend the Mr. Creosote segment if you get nauseated easily.

The movie has some great bits though, like "The Crimson Permanent Assurance" at the start and a dinner party unexpectedly attended by the Grim Reaper near the end.
