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

It'll all be part of your past soon, sarameg. Never mind.

Someday, I'll laugh at the nerves. Someday. Actually, I laugh at them now but cannot shed them. At least I've had confirmation that stress=major factor in weight loss for me. I've been losing since the stress amped up but then when it went to 11? So did the loss.

I am thrilled to pieces the Irena Sendler story is coming to prime time. God love those students in Kansas who fleshed it out for consumption.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Our closing was anticlimactic in the end. Our seller was not local, so he'd mailed the docs in. We went in earlier that week to finish the paperwork and hand over the jack. And it was just land, so there wasn't any key to give. There wasn't any time we were sitting at a table; we just waited until the official time and it was done. We were kinda like, huh.

Anyway, I'm super excited for you and can't wait to see you happily settled in.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

When my mom wanted a Cadillac she and Dad went to the dealership and no matter how many questions Mom asked or how many times Dad insisted, "the car is for her." The salesman would not stop talking to Dad. Finally Mom & Dad walked away & the saleman followed asking what he could do to put Dad in a Cadillac. Dad said, "The car is for her and I can tell you one thing: it won't be a Cadillac."

I also have a friend whose Mom was the accountant of the family for so long that when the Dad endorsed a check (for an account under his name) the bank didn't want to cash it because the signature didn't match the signature on file... that his wife had been forging for years.

He (she? it?) looked ashamed. Had he just eaten an apple?
