Due to limited laundry facilities when I was abroad, I washed my jeans maybe 3 times in the six months I was there. And twice was during the spring inversion when the pollution was so bad, everything turned greyish black and when you took a shower after a day out in it, the first rinse was grey.

They never got stinky though. We'd hang them out the window at least once a week.

Oooh. That archive is amazing, David.

Right? Please note how I failed to hyperbolize.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I will say, this summer I forced myself to like zucchini more, and have somewhat gotten over my eggplant aversion, so I'll eat it now, but ratatouille is still way down on the list of Foods I Like.

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

I had seen most of these before.

Hec, have you ever considered becoming a librarian/archivist? There are enough quirky collections of things - as you can demonstrated tonight - that I am sure there is one out there with your name on it. You have the right magpie mind for it, for sure.

I'll bet the lifeguards are wondering about my homelife. In the last two weeks, I've sported bruises on my left hip and shoulder, now have a spectacular scrape on my shin and a lesser large bruise under it, a faint bruise on my right butt (I can feel the knot underneath) and a REALLY AWESOME bruise on my elbow spreading down my forearm. And now, a bandaged finger. I'd report me.

Oooh, have you ever heard the song "Dodge Veg-o-matic" by Jonathan Richman?

Nope! Sounds like something I need to hear, tho'.

Dad and I go between blank, crying, and inappropriate humor. So, about what you would expect from us, probably.

Tomorrow we go to the funeral home to arrange things. Mom's final wishes, which she randomly told Dad a few months ago? No ceremony or funeral; she wants to be cremated, and have us sneak her ashes into the flowerbeds around the Haunted Mansion at Disneyland. No, she wasn't kidding.

Oh, Jilli, that's perfect.
