Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

We had a blast. And planning a return trip next year. Jesse was on fire!

WOOHOO! You make a good case, JenP

Happy 21st to Alex!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

It was so good to see everyone in and around the crosswords!! And I was on fire, if I do say so myself, ha. In the top third!!

Our wings are not tired.

That's awesome, Jesse! Exceeded your expectations!

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

Skipping a bunch because I’m exhausted and anxious this morning. Hugs and ~ma to all who need it.

I’m dealing with something currently that I originally talked to JZ about before she got sick, and oh I’d give anything to be able to talk to her right now.

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

So happy about the Crossword F2F!

I expect Mah Jong and Shuffleboard and Knee Rehab F2Fs in our future.

I have a 9am Pilates class this morning. That's almost like going to work on a Monday, but I'm up and ready. One of three appointments I've got on my calendar today, all devoted to self-improvement in one way or the other.

All the home renovations I thought I'd be doing with JZ are now investments of time and money into renovating myself.

I adore all you motherfuckers so much -- PMM.

Gentle gestures of solidarity and love to you, sj.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I expect Mah Jong and Shuffleboard and Knee Rehab F2Fs in our future.
