Saffron: But we've been wed. Aren't we to become one flesh? Mal: Well, no, uh... We're still two fleshes here, and I think that your flesh ought to sleep somewhere else.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

You have bones inside you! WET bones inside you!

You have spit in your mouth and now you need to swallow.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Today is Matilda's 16th birthday! So she's about the same age SA, Holli and Rebecca Lizard were when they joined us.

She's planning on taking her boyfriend out to IHOP to celebrate.

It's actually been a really hard year, when you stop and do the math. Eliot would cry, too, if it didn't take him seventy minutes of therapy, two cocktails, and a Sondheim medley before he can experience a human emotion through the haze of his PTSD.

Joke's on you, mister; I'm eating rice and eggs.

Well, I presume you're still swallowing.

Ugh, nobody was very enthusiastic about this Monday. Not even Matilda and it's her birthday.

It's very grey out in SF this morning, which is fine. I could use some Autumn cool. I suppose I'll go run while I can.

I am not enthusiastic about Monday but am startled and disturbed how old Matilda is. My god. I mean I knew. But. Dang.

I love that for a birthday date!

Glad you're feeling better, Trudy.

Hope Brendon gets to hit the pike soon.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Happy birthday to nearly-grown Matilda.

I hope everyone is on the mend!

Today is kind of perfect weather here, after some cooler days, and a coworker and I met on our way into the building this morning both sweating like pigs! We were ready for a crisp fall morning, not muggy last gasps of summer.

It's perfect fall weather here, so I have pumpkin bread in the oven while I work.

Mmm, that sounds nice.

Epic, thanks for the update! That all sounds reasonable promising.
