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

I have parsley! It's actually the biggest bunch.

Then you've got yourself a Simon & Garfunkel tune there.

And I've got an earworm.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Nora,

Friday night we went to a concert by Consortium of Genius, which was part of the fringe festival. Saturday we took the streetcar to the Garden District and wandered around there a bit.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Oh Brenda -- that's a little too much family drama. And what exactly did the boyfriend do (or is alleged to have done) to end up IN JAIL? I must have missed a memo or two.

I'm resigned to the fact that my family won't agree to a vegetable dish other than mashed potatoes and corn,

pssst - neither of those are vegetables

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Holy crap, brenda! You win on adjacent drama.

And you see where we run into problems. And a lack of fiber.

Stupid tax, basically. Drug possession charge (weed) a few years ago that was not exactly cleared. [Stupid tax] Then got pulled over for no light on his plate. Acted like a jackass and pissed off the cop. [Stupid tax] After two or three weeks in real jail (scary ass shit, really) probation officer violated him and landed him in a work-release facility for three months.

My sis is a freaking dynamo, FTR. She pushed and pushed and called the PO and got his parents to do so and called some more and kept the pressure on until he got moved from real jail to the WR place the night before his brother's wedding, then got his boss to drive 50 miles there on the morning after a late night poker game to get the work release set up so that he could get out for like two hours, throw on a tux, and be at his brother's wedding. Then right away back to whereever.

Seriously. If you're ever in real trouble, you want her on your side.

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

Go, brenda's sis!

I have pie in the oven! Thanks to Mr. Flea who introduced me to the very concept of peach and blueberry pie. I made mine with lemon zest. Some tart and tangy to go with that peachy sweet.

Also, I had a little egg left over so I made a cup of aluminum foil and added parmesan and chives.

You know why? Because I have freakin' chives! I'm going to put them in everything now. Maybe on ice cream, I don't know.

Anyway, a little baked egg thingie to give JZ a bit of protein.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I see a chive turkey in your future.
