Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

At Grace's place, they served ham steaks without giving us knives.

But was it nummy? I love that chef for his stuffing.

It was. We missed the tamales which made me feel extremely tragic.

Keys are off to Miss T. She was adorable, talking talking talking up a storm.

I know having her mom home after over 4 years is a strain; her mom said as much. (Her mom was in a nursing/physical rehab place after a bad accident.) And her mom appears to be overcompensating for the years in situ missed. I'm going to have to make sure she comes over at least once a week with the focus not being totally homework- she's processing. I'm not trying to take the place of her mom at all, just give her a place where she's not being aggressively parented (for the best, if not ideal, intentions) but mentored, I guess. She's a sharp kid, she rationally seems to get what is going on, but she's also heading into teenagedom. We had a neat discussion about being self-aware and how selfishness can change meaning as you get older.

Hell, I suspect she'll make me appreciate teenagers.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

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

Dude, does mac have books from Walter the Farting Dog series?

(I swear, I managed to corrupt my entire department. Everyone is buying them for either their kids or grandkids this year, based off my stories of how I warped D. Even my boss, for his grandsons.)

there should be no inside possums in my world.

From what i've heard, Trudy would agree.
