Congratulations to the class of 1999. You all proved more or less adequate.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

I'm torn between the haunted mansion on the island and a church. The idea of Buffista Cathedral or the Church of the Blessed Snark beckons like a thing that is beckoning.

My dream library--which extends to many rooms--has a well-protected section for Books That Are Precious And Beautiful and more sections for regular books, including the shelves of taped-up thrift store copies of books that I can shove in my purse with no worries. And read in the tub, of course.

Rather. There was a time in my life when you could tell how well I loved a book by the layers of water damage at the corners. However, it has been more than a decade since I had a comfortable tub in my life.

Because books.

THIS is the place we need.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Holy crapsicles, yes we do. How many hidden passageways and secret doors inside wall panels and bookshelves do you imagine that place has?

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

That's practically affordable. Damn.

I like the property, but I'm not living in Pennsylvania. Can we have an East Coast mansion and a West Coast mansion?

Yeah, I'm not sure about Pennsylvania, either. But damn, nice mansion.

Hey! Pennsylvania is beautiful.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

In non-eye-searing pain news, after I land in NYC, I think I have enough time on Sunday afternoon to spend a couple of hours in a museum. Which one should it be? The Met?

Yeah, the Met.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Hey! Pennsylvania is beautiful.

I am sure this is true. And yet, I did my time in the snow. I'm out.
