That does sound like a (relatively) good day. More and better to come, I hope!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
That's great, Consuela!
How much do you normally see your parents, Consuela, if there is a normal? Are you expecting to spend more time with them as part of your mother's acclimation, or is this close to usual?
I have decided the only way the apple thing is going to stick is if I take notes. So I'm using a totally OTT app with my Evernote back end, and I'm taking a picture of each apple and recording my opinions of the taste. Otherwise I totally forget which is which, and I certainly can't tell them apart by looking.
So I went to Whole Foods and got one of each of the red ones. I'd never even heard of Arkansas Black before. Yoinks.
You know when you get into a weird argument? What is pilot season? I mean, what takes place during it, and when in the year is it?

Many people cite the Arkansas Black as the best eating apple, and I agree with them when I get a good one. Sometimes, probably because of storage, they can be mealy.

I've never heard of Arkansas Black. It sounds like a kind of pot. t edit Marijuana, to be clear. Not a cooking pot.

Okay expert googlers, I need a Kehinde Wiley portrait of two young men. It has a background with silver filigree and one of the young men is in a plaid shirt. HELP!

You all are awesome. I'm using that piece, along with an interview with Wiley + Claude McKay's "If We Must Die" plus a Gwendolyn Brooks poem "The Boy Died in My Alley."
Now I'm looking for an article where a principal talks about the number of funerals she has attended. found it! [link]
Also, if you have other google-fu... Dee and Ricky is based on another pre 20th century portrait (much of Wiley's work is) and if you could figure out what, I'd be in awe. I can't. lots of his portraiture is titled "After ....." which explains where it is from.
