It's hard to know what to say about Chi-fil-A. There's no question the company is overtly Christian, but Truett Cathy was an old-school "even as ye have done to the least of these" Christian. It's one of the best corporate citizens around. It's funded $25 million plus in scholarships, mostly to its young employees, plus millions for homes for foster children. It really will supply food to most non-profit organizations that ask.
I happen to be very biteable, pal. I'm moist and delicious.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
what are people doing this weekend?
Taking Emmett to Krav on Saturday and Sunday. Then I've got to finish up writing assignments on Jack Kirby, my Bubblegum entry into the Pop Encyclopedia and a piece on underground filmmaker Kenneth Anger.

"In the equation E = mc⬧, c⬧ is a pretty big honking number." - Scola
I was going to lounge around doing nothing, but since I'm on my third straight day of doing that already, I may have to actually do something. Huh. I wonder what?

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
That house is incredible, DJ. So spare and clean.
And really not terribly expensive $260,000. The neighborhood is also really nice, near a park and the lake and about 15 min from the city.
Still don't have that much, and still not sure about buying, but it's a nice little fantasy.
This weekend: HH this afternoon, then maybe a late dinner with friends. Saturday Jon is working at a different bar, and unless I really want to see the bands playing, I think I'll rent some movies and have a me/spa night. There is no football on Sunday so I have no freaking clue what I'll do with myself. Maybe I'll go do this to satisfy the craving [link]

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I have tentative plans to see Colin. I don't know if I'm going to tell him I'm using him to get ahead socially at the office.
But, seriously, if someone's going to cite a Eureka episode by season to make a point about a staff meeting, how can I keep my dorky mouth shut? I couldn't have told you what season that episode was in.

Because books.
The neighborhood is also really nice, near a park and the lake and about 15 min from the city.
And for that price, it looks really well kept, too. Gorgeous example of that era.
This weekend: Mopping tracked slush off the floors. Maybe a movie. I assume the kids will sledding every possible moment.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil
This weekend: swimming tonight, tomorrow afternoon, and Sunday morning, and in between there I'll be cleaning out my fridge, doing my dishes, cooking up some lemon chicken and turkey chili, and working on some cross-stitch ornaments.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I feel increasingly like I will be able to keep my plans for tomorrow, which include the Mapparium and a fancy cocktail at sunset. So that should be nice.

I wish I could work out payback that didn't involve shoving his face into the dirt. Because that lacks a modicum of class.
