You guys, I just bought a plane ticket to Paris. I have decided fuckit, maybe I AM made of money.
Damn girl! When are you going to Paris? For how long? For just fun or an event? I wanna go!

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Yeah, it looks like Bayou Bagelry never reopened after Katrina.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

February, for a week. A friend of mine is living there for the academic year, so what better time?? I never went when she lived there before, and this is a sabbatical, so the next chance isn't for another however many years.

Until I left Southwestern Pennsylvania, Chinese food was La Choy chow mein. Polish and German food were common, due to our proximity to Pittsburgh, but beyond that, the Betty Crocker Cookbook was our menu.

Not Betty Crocker, but Fanny Farmer cookbooks.

When I went back for my mother's funeral, my oldest sister, who lived in the Bay Area, and I were discussing sushi, and all the relatives who had never left the rural county where we grew up looked at us a little funny. Apparently I can pass for cosmopolitan to the denizens of Greene County, PA.

OMG, the fact that I could visit Boston without fear seemed to mark me as 'cosmopolitan' in the white French-Canadian population of Northern New England. Shoot, visiting Manchester was deemed dangerous and exotic. My family might as well have been on a suicide mission when we headed to Boston. There was a lot of fear where I grew up of "large" cities.
I picked up a hitch-hiker once who was asking whether I lived in "the city" and he was referring to the capitol, Concord, which is a quaint small city, but really more like a middling-large historic downtown. He was a mountain dude. It's all relative, I guess.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

You're not wrong, I've taught Ryan that Melbourne has a population of three million, and his Chinese grandparents are sitting there listening and sniffing, 'how quaint'.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Spoiler font to be nice.
Can we do that a little more, please? I'm staying out of Boxed Set to avoid spoilage and y'all have been a little too specific in blackfont re: Sleepy Hollow for my taste.
Mmm, Bayou Bagelry. They had several locations, the one on St. Charles in the LGD was walking distance of several places I lived. I was very sad when they decided not to reopen.
There's no place to get a bagel that good in Solano County, sad to say.
