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

You get drinks bought for you in airport bars? I have been living my life wrong.

They aren't, for the most part, drinks bought with any intent. Today's was a nice guy who'd been talking about his wife's iPad, the wee twins that they fostered and were now adopting and he only bought it as he was actually getting up to go to his gate. It could not have been less intentful. No idea why he did it either. Those little boys of his were damn cute though and he was adorable talking about how they've fostered them from 9 months and after two years, they couldn't imagine not raising them, so adoption!

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

That's exciting, Kathy.

brenda, I too pick passwords on their two-handedness. Ideally I'd alternate every other letter between hands.

Why did they devote so many resources in the waning days of the war to continue to steal art?

I know part of the answer to this! Because they believed that works of art like the Ghent Alterpiece (which is jammed with medieval christ/lamb/grail imagery) were a key or map to the Spear of Destiny and the Ark of the Covenant and other supermojo powered weapons. Just like Raiders of the Lost Ark implies.

America also was desperately searching for a previously undiscovered super weapon, but fortunately we used SCIENCE and built the atom bomb.

I've taken to paying for other people's drinks on occasion if they've been interesting to talk to, men and women. Or if they are having shitty travel woes.

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

I have only once or twice been bought drinks for by someone who didn't know me yet. Well, no, once I think. We later made the beast with two backs. It's a bit of an association I have now.

FYI: a great book about the WWII Nazi looting of art is The Rape of Europa.
