You're wrong about River. River's not on the ship. They didn't want her here, but she couldn't make herself leave. So she melted... Melted away. They didn't know she could do that, but she did.

I am increasingly scared about the 12-day trip I am planning to go on with my parents and people from their church.

Will there be opportunities for time apart? That seems key.

Because books.

Where are you going, Jesse?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Luckily, my parents and I (and my likely roommate) are in agreement on this point. Unclear whether the tour design will allow for much.

Amy, it's a trip around Turkey and Greece.

3 weeks with my parents. About a week of it in my house.

That sounds cool. I hope someday to travel to someplace further away than Canada (and that was a business trip).

Oh, fun. I'm tempted to break into song from Mamma Mia! now.

Love Mike Rowe/Dirty Jobs? Got 20 minutes? He gave a TED talk on dirty jobs last fall - it starts out about castrating sheep, but then he gets into anagnoresis. (Must have been a Classics major - who knew?) [link]

I don't think I would ever be comfortable as a pilot in a plane knowing that the cockpit is attached to the rest of the plane by a hinge.
