Dang, Strix, that sounds super-mega-stressful! But god does that risotto sound AMAZING. And the job front sounds great, too!
Doesn't winter seem more like archiving season?

Oh, that risotto was GOD. Crimini mushrooms and loads of real butter and asiago and truffles and ginormous CLAWS of lobster and crunchy panko bread crumbs on the top.
It was so rich I had to stop in the middle of a modest serving. Dan and I BOTH had a cigarette afterwards, like after a scene in an old 40's movie, and my serotonin and endorphin levels were like, cocaine high-high. SO. GOOD. So needed after such a shit day, and what a thoughtful gift. Bless you, Kenton.

Nothing I can have for dinner sounds good now that I've read that. Curse you, wee Strix and your lobsterified risotto-ish ways!

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Strix, that is a good friend you have.

That's like John Darnielle in Durham.
Wow, Strix, you deserve the best casserole, for sure.

You have to remember that being a 5-time Olympic medalist means Hilary Knight has been playing hockey at an elite level at least 16 years. It's impossible for her to be a teenage girl less than 16 years old, thus the President's complete lack of interest.
If I lived there, I'd make the extra effort.

If it makes you feel better, Tep, I'm probably having a tuna salad sandwich and Chex Mix for dinner tonight. Woo!
