Timelies all!
Happy Birthday Dana!
Gotta watch out for that rogue tea...
Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

Zombie tea? or would that have gone straight for your brain?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
My car keys are in the fridge with the rest of my BBQ pulled pork I bought for lunch.
Must not forget.
One of my co-workers just found out he's been pronouncing his name "wrong" for 40+ years. I use quotation marks, because I don't really know what wrong is, in this instance. His parents use the "correct" pronunciation, but he never noticed before now. At this point, I figure the new pronunciation has got legs, and you should keep it.
He's a bit discombobulated, though.

One of my co-workers just found out he's been pronouncing his name "wrong" for 40+ years.
On Aisha Tyler's Girl on Guy podcast, Peter Facinelli said he pronounced his last name wrong until he was 17 or 18.

First, Debet.
I realise now I would stumble the hell over pronouncing Facinelli. Never really thought about that.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
One of my friends in elementary school was from an Indian family, and she had an Indian name. When she was about 9, she and her parents took a trip to India, and all her relatives there said that she and her parents had been pronouncing her name wrong, so she started using the correct pronunciation. It was a small change, but it took a while for all her friends to remember to use it consistently, and it really must have been weird for her to start introducing herself differently.

On the other had, if I remember 9 year olds, she probably really enjoyed being able to correct everyone, especially adults.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
In Rosemary Mahoney's great book about Ireland, Whoredom in Kimmage, she constantly noted how the Irish mocked her pronunciation of her last name.
She pronounced it as we typically do: "Mah-Ho-Nee."
Which made them hoot in derision.
Because apparently it's supposed to be more like: "Moh-(ch)Knee."
