On my seventh birthday, I wanted a toy fire truck, and I didn't get it, and you were real nice about it, and then the house next door burnt down, and then real firetrucks came, and for years I thought you set the fire for me. And if you did, you can tell me!

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Someone needs to tell me that I don't need the black shirt with the skull and the word Crypotid on it that I will have to pass on my way back to Bart

Our wings are not tired.

Can't help you out there, Lee.

Because I spelled cryptid wrong?

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

In LA it's called boba tea, not bubble tea, but I'm not surprised to hear that the name varies from place to place.

For your essay on love, Kat, I present the two definitions of love that compete in my head: love is oxytocin, and love is a gift, but you have to give it away.

Because books.

That's great, Consuela, thanks.

Hah--I was assuming crypotid was some sort of fandom thing I knew not of.

I also walked to the local farmers market today. There were no baby goats, though. Woe.

It was nice enough this afternoon to open the windows and sit on the porch for a bit. Also, my yellow crocuses are blooming, which makes me happy.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

Calli, it's like that here, too (although I have no crocuses). Getting some fresh air has done wonders for my sense of well-being.
