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.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

I have seen more than one cat drink from a running faucet. And knew one who would specifically ask for it to be turned on whenever I went into the bathroom at its house.

Mine does this, too. When I get out of bed in the morning, he beats me in there and waits on the sink. If, in my morning sleepies, I don't turn the faucet on right away, he licks it until I do.

As Perkins says, Portland. And Seattle.

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

Portland?

Sadly, yes.

I can hear something precipitating - so it looks like we got the freezing rain instead.

It feels like it's warmed up here.

Anyway I'm hanging around waiting for my BIL to let me know my parents are picked up safely from the airport. Except I didn't realize he was going to do it: he's mildly narcoleptic and their flight was delayed, so now I'm a bit nervous.

I'm sure they're fine. ::drums fingers::

It was sleeting here about an hour ago. Now it's snowing. So, it's a-comin'!

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

Snow has reached the lakeshore. Woohoo.

I never realized the importance of shrimp to holiday parties. I don't think I ever experienced a holiday shrimp plate before 3 or 4 years ago.

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

Just set up my sister's laptop for her. Booked Supershuttle. So ready to go home, and it's still a week.
