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

This is the tour.

Wow! I didn't realize it was for the eclipse. I have all of the happy for you jealousies.

I have all of the laundry in the dryer now. Day accomplished.

Also I thought I was being freakishly overheated just in my body because I was out until just after noon today and it was gorgeous. Except, apparently, it also heated up sometime late in the day. So it's not me being overheated, it's actually much warmer than I thought.

Someone less delicate should Google Hot Honeys and tell me what the hell they are selling as a Nascar sponsor. I mean, it can't be anything that isn't family friendly, right? Surely porn can't be on the hood. I mean, Perky Jerky wasn't porn. Even though it sounds like a twink jack off flick, I think it was just caffeinated meat.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

Cass, it looks like they're spicy honey-roasted peanuts.

My family uses solar eclipses as an excuse to go to interesting places. It is kind of a Thing. So far: APO (ok, not exotic, and a partial,) southern Africa, Mongolia, Nepal and Bhutan and now Australia. My parents trip to Peru and my other travels are independent of orbital happenstance.

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

Wow, sara, that looks amazing. And then I'd totally call that Aussie ex and we could have outback Ayers rocking dingo shocking sex where he comes from down under...boom.

Sorry.

I think he has a kid now.

So, you know. No sexy sex. He's all ruined now.

My mother tried to get me agitated about our cousin Hughgine (I figure, if you're not agitated by that...what's the fact that he's 55 dating a 22 year old younger than some of his 9 or 10 kids gonna do?) and then remembered who she was talking to and stopped.

Except, my mother isn't supposed to think I have an opinion on age difference in relationships, because I present as pretty clearly aromantic (yes, using that word too) to her. Clearly and deliberately. Hell, maybe that's it--me shtupping a 17 year old is clearly not romantic in the least.

I want them to semi-adopt me.

The one thing that I am really excited about in moving is that OMG the skies out in the desert. Magic.

That's both a silly name and a little clever.

sara, I'm sad for us but happy for you. But this year, we are being furloughed for all of Thanksgiving week, so I think we're going to go skiing.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

COOLEST TRIP EVER. Let's throw another eclipse on the barbie.

My parents joke this is how they are burning up our inheritance. I heartily go along with it (hell, I'd go along with it even if they weren't taking us.) Flight will be a bitch with the boys, but likely quantas and none of this pay-for-booze bullshit USAir pulled.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Ooooh. I want to go on that trip.
