I love Lorna Lanvik's books! My dad gave me one of her books as a Christmas gift. I'd asked for another book but he couldn't find it, and Lanvik's were right there so he bought me one instead.
Ouhh! Snacks! The secret to any successful migration! Who's up for some tasty fried meat products!?

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
That is cool, bonny.
I just texted the dude from last night. Waiting to hear back.
I may have had two glasses of wine on a mostly empty stomach. Damn, I'm a lightweight. Consuming protein now.

My 96 year old great-uncle passed away today. He was an amazing man who was sharp and amazing until the end. I'm really going to miss him.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
I am sorry, sj.

Thanks, Cass. I know I should just be happy that he lived a good long life, but I can't stop crying. He was so much like my Nana, who I lost 18 years ago this month, and he was just so amazing with his stories of growing up in Italy, his incredible garden, etc.

You can be glad he lived a good life and still miss him like crazy. It's really okay. I am sorry you are hurting.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
I'm so sorry for your loss, sj. My grandfather also died at 96, and even though it was time for him to go it was still too soon for the rest of us. These people leave a hole behind that no one else can ever quite fill. {{{sj}}}

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
96 years is a loooong time until they're 95. Then its not nearly enough. I'm so sorry, sj.

He was very pleased with himself that he made it past his mother's age of 94, but then he was aiming for 100, of course.
Before I came home to this news I had a wonderful day in Newport with TCG. We went to our favorite little Christmas shop and he bought me a kindle ornament for next Christmas and then we had a yummy dinner.
