Tommy, my take on 50s manliness was that although the US had shown its strength in the war, thus the world stage, on the domestic front there had been a large abscence of men and domestically some women had taken over the "male roles" in the households. So that dynamic had to be re-established by the over manly man presentation and feminine female of the media.
Where's the praising and extolling of my virtues? Where's the love?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
It's 46 here!

Because books.
It's 41 and sunny here, which feels a lot like spring, oddly.
I would like to spend the day *not* blowing my nose constantly. We'll see, I guess. I'm also going to go try on a dress I saw that might work for Easter.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
It's 50 here, but cloudy. I may go to Target and look at spring clothes anyway.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Huh. Babies are so cute when they're fascinated by other babies.
We're supposed to get to the low 40s today, which is the normal high for this time of year. Yay! We've been below the normal high for about 10 days, which for some reason doesn't seem fair to me....

Now tagless for your comfort.
It's 46 here, too. I'm trying to decide if I'm going to wear pants or shorts for the 10K.

ita, did you know your sites are down? The index page of each work, but not the individual person pages.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Oh, great. They moved servers last night. I didn't think I had any server specific code, but time to comb through.
Thanks for the heads up.
