CJ seems to be perking up and hopefully he can go back to school tomorrow. For me, a journey to the potty is a major effort. Blech.
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.

Good friend, Suzi. Which you totally deserve.
Throughout history, gods have come and gone, while people continued to do the right thing because it was the right thing.

(Ha. Just realized that my second paragraph up there, in which I extoll my virtues, follows a paragraph wherein I call someone a bitch. Awesome.)
You contain multitudes.

Reading through my hysteria yesterday. God, I know I was freaked out, but amazing how a positive outcome can fog the memory. I know I was freaked out to the point of shaking. I remember every moment of the reality of it, my pale officemate, the THUMPWHOOSH, but now? It's just a funny story. That I hope to never live again.

Oh, sara, reading (and I was catching up, not reading real-time) yesterday *my* heart was kerthumping. DxH used to have a call center with that system in the server room. And a BIG RED BUTTON on the wall. Unlabeled. And just kinda begging to be pressed. Thankfully the only time it, um, got pressed was when they were still under construction and it could have been much worse but GAH.
I should note that I was not the one who pressed it. Even I know that big, red, unlabeled buttons should not be poked with sticks or otherwise.
You sounded very in control (stressed, but in control) throughout the whole thing. Even during the bits that you couldn't affect.
you all WISH you has this level of crazy hilarious entertainment.
Sometimes. That sounds pretty funny.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

As for the food map, I was very pleased to see that they had toasted ravioli for Missouri as is right and proper.
A friend from St. Louis who now lives near Nashville was quite excited to find them at Target. She bought some for herself and her 93-year-old mother.
Why does Oklahoma get fried okra?
While Georgia is iconically the peach state, it really should be the peanut and broiler-fryer state.

Oregon is hazelnuts. I approve. But I want to partner with Alaska who is king crab. Together (with butter) we would rule the nom-ways.
