Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

Dana made me laugh. I have several friends who would be delighted to fly in and assist your sister any way they could.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Your sister knows what's what, brenda!

In New York, I'm pretty sure I needed tax returns.

Thanks, Jesse. I guess I'll bring copies of my W-2 to be on the safe side.

I managed to consume a mug of quail stock without spilling it. Also delicious.

Shrift, if you have a recent credit report, I would bring that too. Fill out a boilerplate rental application, if you can. And bring a checkbook, be ready to sign right away.

I am somewhat envious, but I know from past experience that what I like to think of as my usual clever repartee would turn into "That will give you bees."

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Aww, bees. I was just thinking of "bees" the other day.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Don't forget an arm and a leg too, and an affidavit pledging to sell your extra organs if necessary. Who needs two kidneys?
