I got an "I HOPE YOU'RE NOT DEAD" e-mail.

My mother tends to go for the "Did you forget you have a mother" voicemail.

Is there any particular reason you would have died over the weekend?

My dad's SAR had a local journalist tag along on a mock mission! [link]

I guess she heard about the El crash last week. (Green Line derailed. I have never been on the Green Line.) My mom doesn't call me as often as she wants because she thinks she's intruding, which I think is stupid. But hey. Moms.

I don't like to use pesticides, because wasps are usually good guys in the insect world, but if you have a nest near children I'd be inclined towards killing them. I don't seem to have any wasp and bee allergies, so I usually just leave wasps or, if they're in a place that puts them way too close to people, I whack the nest in the middle of the day with a stick. Then they have to rebuild, and sometimes they go elsewhere.

One Quattro Stagione on a thin crust to go, please, Maria.

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

Had I gone with that one, can you see what I mean?

Yes, but I see the two examples as radically different--can you explain why they are similar? How about a definition where a neurosis can be stimulus for a compulsion? I mean, the compulsion are the tasks you execute to relieve the distress caused by the neurosis?

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

My mother tends to go for the "Did you forget you have a mother" voicemail.

I get that one too.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Ha! F2F in PA. Twelve beers on tap, and dad's homemade wine. We can fit up to 200 in the place, if you count the outdoor deck. For those who don't want pizza, there's subs (homemade bread) and pasta and meat and fish too.

Seriously, if you can make it to the east coast, we can road trip. My dad is used to me bringing friends up on a moment's notice. Last year, the entire neighborhood caravaned up for dinner on a Saturday. It was a blast.

I got an "I HOPE YOU'RE NOT DEAD" e-mail.

I'm more likely to be the one to send that email. See above article. My life is much less action filled.
