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.

Our wings are not tired.

It isn’t something you get used to, or shouldn’t. I’m sorry.

Good to hear you have supplies but that is a whole lot, askye.

My brother delayed so when he finally got to the radiology center it had closed. He and my sister are in mandatory evacuation zones. My sister is leaving. He isn’t, of course.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Guess who’s sick and not going to her nephews wedding after all.

Technically this is Matilda. She is sick and she's not going to a nephew's wedding.

I feel for Matilda and her missed trip.

Hannah sent us pictures from London. It looks amazing.

I had a dream that has mostly faded, but sharing, because I was at some sort of retreat/meeting with at least Steph and Cash, possibly more of you. It morphed into being at Steph's house, and she had three charming pets, one of whom slept with me, AND she had awesome snacks during the meeting.

The other thing I remember is that Cash, at one point said something like, "Oh, Jen you should sit here - it's really comfortable," and then was like, "Well, not right now, though. I actually want to stay here now." Ha!

I don't have anything from reality to share yet today. Carry on.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

I would DEFINITELY have awesome snacks! (My current pet is the opposite of charming, but maybe future pets will be charming.)
