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

Happy Billytea Day! May it be wondrous and filled with interesting and improbable animals.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Thank you!

Happy Billytea Day! May it be wondrous and filled with interesting and improbable animals.

I'm currently rewatching Wild China, so... yes! Witness, for instance, the hot spring snake, which lives a cold-blooded existence at an altitude of 4,500 metres on the Tibetan plateau, catching fish in geothermal springs.

Now we have hamsters the size of ping pong balls. Earlier we had bamboo bats, the size of bumblebees; they nest in hollow bamboo stalks.

And now the ice festival of Harbin. I would love to take Ryan to see that someday.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Happy birthday, billytea! Another couple of hours, right?

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

Happy birthday, dude!

So far, one cousin has forgotten her shirt. Not sure how we'll play that off, other than ditzy. Oops.

We spend today in town--we're going to dinner with people who can't make it out to Port Antonio on Saturday. So, fifteen strangers, late. I hope I'm up to it. And then crack of dawn tomorrow we drive out to paradise. I feel marginally bad I'm shirking cooking duties, but my credit card is out for supplies. I will contribute in a way that suits my limits.
