Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Do they still dress for dinner on cruises? It strikes me that that would be more fun with buffistas than just about anyone.

When I went on a cruise a few years ago, sit-down dinner was no jeans, no sneakers, I think. Most people wore sundresses or polo shirts with khakis. There were one or two designated formal nights. If you didn't want to dress for dinner, there was also a casual buffet dining room, where the only rule was you had to be wearing shoes, and if you had on a bathing suit, then you had to be wearing something over it.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

The first cruise I went on (with Buffistas!), there was a couple who put on their fancy denim overalls for dinner.

Apparently so and I'm pretty sure Whiskey in that context was killing people.

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

That's what I thought, sarameg. And I'm not entirely sure whether everyone (or just her) in the room got it too.

Bailey is like the calmest dog in the world right now. I hope crating for bedtime goes as well.

Yay Bailey!

So Santa Claus (IND-Nevada) is listed as one of the write in candidates for President on my ballot.

(I'm planning on voting tomorrow, so marking up my sample.)

Cruise ships are big enough that you can get away....from people, at least. In my experience.

This is true! I know because I was with Jesse and she was trying to get away from us.

This just in: Grace lost her first tooth. Of course her teeth are so jacked up from lack of eating that it doesn't look super weird . I am not ready for this!

WAS NOT. I was not the one going off to do Activities as ass o'clock in the morning.

Grace lost her first tooth.

HOW POSSIBLE?!
