Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

On the body poetry front, does anyone else remember the other Steve Martin?

Thank goodness that you've got a cerebellum,
If they ask you what it's for well you just tell 'em,
If you didn't have one you would surely lie there,
Till the buzzards came along and said O HAI THAR

ION, last night I used the ground pork from the farmer's market to make burgers, with just garlic and a bit of salt and pepper to hold it together. They were DELICIOUS. I think next time I may try toasting the buns a little, has anyone tried that?

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

It is too cold. I think I'm OK with it being cold outside as long as I know that it's warm inside, but it's cold inside, too. My living room has a huge picture window, with single-pane glass. I've got insulated curtains over it, and they help somewhat, but there's still a lot of cold coming in. And the couch is right in front of that window, because that's really the only way to arrange the room.

Because books.

My dad toasts buns all the time. Usually on the grill, though.

The *other* Steve Martin? Like, not the Wild and Crazy Guy?

Whoops! That should have been Steve Allen.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I toast everything, myself.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Buns should be toasted whenever possible.

I second -t's opinion on buns.

So my friend L referred a professional placement firm to me, which is nice, although I don't know if I convinced them I'm a good fit for the position they're hoping to fill. Damn this economy: a quasi-generalist is not, apparently, competitive for these positions where all they want is utility experience. Argh.

My next article is on macular degeneration. No pictures. I feel a little cheated.

Think how cheated the people with macular degeneration feel.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

I don't tend to make sandwiches on buns at home, but usually toasted (or grilled) is a good idea for them.
