Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Nilly! I am heading to bed but how lovely to see your font. Sending happy hellos to you.

And I'm bringing up the morning brigade, but I've got to leave for school imminently. Where we will blow up more things in SFX, I hope. Though I don't know how we're going to top Mars....

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

Though I don't know how we're going to top Mars....

Jupiter. Blow up Jupiter.

It's more of a small chocolate waterfall over glass.

And I assume there's a fat German boy at the bottom of it.

So - what are everybody's weekend plans?

I'm putting up the friend I mentioned yesterday who's fiance is in the hospital for at least one night, maybe two, so she won't have to sleep on a couch at Mass General. It sounds like the prognosis is somewhat less grim than it sounded yesterday. He'll still need surgery, but the outlook looks positive once that's done. Still sounds horrifically painful, though.

Wow. I wonder if that was some kind of smuggled animal deal gone wrong. You'd think somebody with legitimate claims to a zebra would report it missing.

Now tagless for your comfort.

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

Perhaps it was being shipped to a zebra pornographer. Is there zebra porn? Wait, I don't want to know the answer to that....

Huh. That was a big deal when I was at UWSP. (I was there two years before transferring to Madison.)
