Thanks Lee, Jesse.
LeN, I was looking for a more modern opinion on the same topic, or at least just a different take on grammar and usage of modern English.

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

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I'm wearing my winter coat still, but didn't really need it this afternoon. It's 30s-50s, and will be. Depends how much time you'll be spending outside, I guess.

I'm personally a big fan of Grammar Snobs are Great Big Meanies. It cracks me up.

Because books.
I always just use The Chicago Manual of Style, ita, but that's not really what you're looking for.
I'm sorry the pain was so bad today. I wish you could get earlier appointments.
(My)Sara sat and watched a Big Bang Theory rerun with me earlier (she wanted to cuddle) and didn't ever ask what "coitus" meant. I'm not sure whether that's a good or bad thing.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Hmm. I think I'll just bring the corduroy one. I really don't feel like having to deal with a winter jacket on the plane unless I really need to.

Are you touristing or familying or conferencing? That would make a difference, I think. Maybe the corduroy and a warm scarf.

Family. Passover seder Friday night, then visiting some other relatives Saturday. Probably not much time outside.

Yeah, then I wouldn't worry about it.

We're supposed to get snow Saturday night, but I don't know if it's coming up the eastern seaboard or from Ontario.
I went out with some old coworkers tonight. We are the strangest group of friends (sort of friends...we only see each other a couple of times a year.) but we're bonded by how much we hated where we worked. It was nice.

It's not from here! We have no precipitation in the forecast.
