Hot tea with no carb goodness on the side:
Nice article about Nancy! I love the 5 years, times up element. How often things happen at just the last moment.
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.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Subjunctive Check:
It would be easier to sort the boxes if there was a master list
or
It would be easier to sort the boxes if there were a master list
I cannot get either to sound completely right or wrong, even though I'm leaning toward the first.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
The first is right. A master list is possible; it's neither contrary to fact nor a wish, so it's not subjunctive. If sentences start worrying me like that, I usually consider rewording, e.g., "A master list would make it easier to sort the boxes."
