I think I've spent the rest of the evening hooking up potential good landlords with existing landlords, hooking up neighbors into local things and sharing contractor recs. Why can't I manage to call a damned roofer?
You're nice, and you're funny and you don't smoke, and okay, werewolf, but that's not all the time. I mean, three days out of the month, I'm not much fun to be around, either.

The NY Times did an article on Syrian food, with recipes from Syrian refugees, and the first recipe here is from one of my ESOL students! [link]

I've only met her once, but her husband is a regular in my class, and I taught her oldest daughter over the summer.

Went to lunch with my brother the restauranteur, and was surprised to learn he didn't know what harissa is. OTOH he is in Chicago, but still. Turns out roasted cauliflower with harissa is really tasty.
Nice day off, although I didn't get a ton done. Did file some papers, and determined that I underpaid my father's taxes -- but not by much, which is a relief.
Now I'm going to drink a manhattan and read some Patricia McKillip.

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.
Hil, that's really cool.
And Cinderella gets to go to the ball! Boss lady convinced one of the overnight staff to cover my shift for me so I can go to the banquet.

I'm not getting into that msbelle, but I support you in email. Or yknow, right here.
I'm surprised at that too, Consuela! Though to be honest I've had it but couldn't really tell you what it tastes like, though I've enjoyed it.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
WS, how cool you get to go! Put Chucks on, they go with everything now!
