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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm having a health-food version of a buffalo chicken sandwich for lunch -- same breaded patty, same buffalo sauce and blue cheese dressing, but the roll is whole wheat, and the sides are celery and carrots! Diet food.

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

Breaded patties aren't diet food.

Hmm. I seem to suspect I don't agree with anyone today. I wonder what's up with that...

Because books.

Dean Winchester likes pie.

Now you can agree with one thing.

But there are no fries on the side! And did I mention the roll is whole wheat??

I agree about the breaded pattie. I would expect a "health food" verson to be a broiled, skinless chicken breast with buffalo sauce and blue cheese made with yogurt.

So healthy, Jesse.

I should have said "health food" -- I wasn't actually serious, what with the drenching in butter and covering in cheese.....

WOot! I just had the second person in a week tell me that they didn't recognize me from behind! And the first one was the woman who sits kitty-corner from me and sees me every day.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I am sans boss all week in the office. I already feel overwhelmed with not knowing what to do next. I have done some stuff, but do not want to have to call customers and schedule work. Stupid lady who cancelled this morning, she ruined my schedule for this week.
