Every planet has its own weird customs. About a year before we met, I spent six weeks on a moon where the principal form of recreation was juggling geese. My hand to God. Baby geese. Goslings. They were juggled.

Vortex, yes, the guy.

He took Grace out for a walk for an hour today (he's young and it probably blows to be trapped in the house). And he wanted to know what skills we want him to work with her on. Also, he's teaching her sign language.

So much better.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Your dad is pretty darn awesome, sara. I love when you talk about him.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

Damn. I so need to pick a spot and do that, Erin. Anywhere would be a good place to start. But I see days. not hours.

I am such a fangirl of sara's parents.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Me too!

Also glad you like the new nurse, Kat.

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

I made myself pizza tonight using that buttery tomato sauce. Pretty darn good.

Yay for the good nurse, Kat. I'm sure it makes a huge difference.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

That's huge, Kat. I'm so happy for you.

And for sara's dad. Way cool.

Terminology question: the drinking game I played in college was called "I never." Everywhere I see it now, it's called "I've never." Which totally makes more sense. Were we just drunken slurring lushes, or did anyone else call it "I never."

Also, seriously, I miss when that was fun. Those were mad stupid days. Sometimes grownup isn't all it cracked up to be.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

We always called it "I never". "I've" seems way too sober and correct for the spirit of the game.
