Well, a gathering is brie, mellow song stylings; shindig, dip, less mellow song stylings, perhaps a large amount of malt beverage, and hootenanny, well, it's chock full of hoot, just a little bit of nanny.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

I have no opinions on cars, as I don't drive (yet. One more thing I need to change, better sooner than later).

However, I do have strong opinions on the need to kick and then let mules run over certain catalogers whose work I have now corrected for over a day's work now (misidentifying materials' type even when the type is clearly written on them; misidentifying dates; writing the general topic of the textual material but not the title of the text).

My daughter is starting off with an 11 year old Honda Fit

Your daughter and I will have the same car, Gud. The last time I took it in for an oil change, the mechanic said it looked good for another 11 years. Your daughter's will probably last even longer, given her mechanically savvy father.

Trump is in KC today. When I dropped my son off at work they were already starting to block off a big section of downtown. He can't leave his building during the day since all vehicle and pedestrian traffic will be disallowed in an several block area. It was supposed to be after rush hour, but it was already hard to drive around at 6:45 this morning and there were emergency vehicles, secret service, and police in body armor all over the place.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

My sister (recent acquisition. You're not crazy if you don't remember me having a sister) is campaigning for a Jeep. My parents rented a jeep when they were in town for the wedding. Everyone hated it, except her, but that may have been out of adolescent orneriness as much as anything.

People who say weddings go by so fast...we had the opposite time skew. Things that happened a week ago feel like a month ago.

Does this mean your family has jumped the shark?

Last month was a lifetime ago, Debet! Congratulations, by the way - I don't think I actually said so on FB

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yes -- Congrats, Debet!!

Aw, one of the ships carrying our inventory is named Unicorn.

I take my whimsy where I find it.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Aw, one of the ships carrying our inventory is named Unicorn.

Are there two more of them each carrying 1/3 of a secret treasure map??

I thought all ships were required to carry a secret treasure map.
