You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Congratulations to Bob Bob! I know that the job market in the humanities right now is very difficult, so he must be doing something right.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Well, I didn't say anything at the time, but he got a tenure-track job in SoCal and we're moving there in the fall. Now we're off to lunch!

Congratulations, bob bob!
Hivemind that knows chess boards/pieces: My father has a board made by his grandfather for which he'd like to find Staunton pieces. The squares on the board are only 1" - and all of the mini sets I find have 2.5" kings recommended for 1.5" squares because their base is 1".
Do they make Staunton pieces smaller than this?

I have a bag full of fruit and where to start...apples are probably better saved for afternoon snacks, and mango (eep!) is messy to start out with, so maybe the white peach for brekkie.
Is it okay to not have ambition? I don't want two missed calls and 39 unread emails between EOD yesterday and "first thing" this morning.
Bon--you gonna be doing the housewife thing (I can see you rocking the role) or are you hunting?
