"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

we would need to have an extroverts' wing and an introverts' wing though.

I'd never see my wife!

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

I think I would need a room in both wings, so I could shuttle back and forth...

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

We don't need separate wings, because everyone would understand that someone wandering off is not an invitation to join them!

....Right?

not your mom's socks.

This conversation and the actual mansions are making me so happy.

Connie, that tour sounds amazing.

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

Hey! Pennsylvania is beautiful.

And everything is hours away from everything else! (I'm annoyed this morning. Just found out that TCBY is introducing a vegan flavor, and then I checked, and the closest TCBY is two hours away from me.)

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

In upstate ny, two hours ain't nothin'. Not really, but an hour drive was really nothing. I commuted an hour to college. My mother commuted an hour to work.

Commuting to work is a little more justifiable than driving to get soft-serve.

Hil, vegan yogurt? I guess I shouldn't be surprised, since I regularly eat 'cultured coconut milk', but still.

Sure. There's soy yogurt and almond yogurt and coconut yogurt. TCBY is using almond milk.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I like the reno on an island, because -- Buffista Island.

There are books for reading, and there are books for ogling.

I love my books like the kid loved the Velveteen Rabbit. But I saw a 15th century Book of Hours in UNC Chapel Hill's Wilson Library collection, and absolutely adored it. If I was super rich I'd have one library for reading and one for preserving and adoring from the other side of plexiglass.
