And now my boy's in love. All hearts and flowers. But, doesn't it freak you out that she used to change your diapers? I mean, when you think about it, the first woman you boned is the closest thing you've ever had to a mother. Doing your mom and trying to kill your dad. Hm. There should be a play.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Change "presumed" to "presumably"?

I used presumed to try to emphasize that it's the people making the tangent who think it's less important? I don't know -- I should scrap the whole sentence and start over, probably.

Ah - I rephrased, put "main story" into quotes, and I think I"m good.

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

Who steals from a guy named Attila?

The same person who starts a land war in Asia.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

There is such a thing? I did not need to know that.

Yes, there is. It's my favorite sandwich on their menu (other than the Oreo/mint frozen custard sandwich).

Heh. It's not even that they called him, but they also refused to have him excluded from the rolls:

His owners, Anna and Guy Esposito, filed to have Sal disqualified for jury service, but the request was denied.

In her application, Anna Esposito listed that Sal "is unable to speak and understand English," one of 10 statutory qualifications for disqualification from service. (Others include "not a United States citizen," "under age 18" and "over age 70.")

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

When's our next onerous task day?

I need motivation right now. I need to get this document finished today.

Okay, not right now. Right now I need to lie down, because the headache has been bad this week and I can't think straight.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

I am doing onerous tasks now. Well, tasks anyway. I am whirling about trying to get stuff done before this trip. Like take my whole new website live. I don't know why I agreed to launch today. Other stuff to do!

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Heh. It's not even that they called him, but they also refused to have him excluded from the rolls:

That's insane. Everyone knows how susceptible kitties are to bribery and tummy skritches.
