There's an old church in, I think, Morris, IL that was converted into apartments several years ago. I remember my mom driving me past it once.
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.

I once chose to not send my kid to after school at a place called Indigo Montessori, just because of the name. Even though they seemed sane. Maybe they just hid it well.

On the Fling chocolate bar -- it also sparkles. There's mica mixed into the chocolate to make it sparkle.
Also also, the reason that it has so few calories is that the inside is meringue, which is mostly air. Compare it to a regular chocolate bar by weight, rather than by volume, and the calorie counts are pretty even.

Anyone done park-sleep-fly at an airport? mr. flea thinks it is worth the cost (maybe $50 extra over parking alone) to avoid getting up at 4am and driving to the airport with me all stressed about missing the plane. I am a little worried that the hassle of 2 kids in a hotel room will be just as bad as getting up at 4am, but then, I am a morning person and mr. flea is not.

Pfft. I want my chocolate to be dense and massive. Also not sparkly.
DENSE AND MASSIVE.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I wonder if the chocolate has to live in a rainy climate because mortals just wouldn't understand its special sparkliness?

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
I've done park-sleep-fly and to me it is totally worth it. However, I do not have kids and I love hotels. So.
But it was really much much easier than schlepping to the airport, which in my case was three hours away, in the wee smas.
