Ooh, Pandora is now reminding me about Christmas at Longwood Gardens. I haven't done that for more than a decade! I should do that this year. So pretty. I wonder how much it is now?
Mal: And I never back down from a fight. Inara: Yes, you do! You do all the time!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
"Cajun" wasn't a precise reference to Acadiana, which would have been les Cadiens or les Acadiens.
Not precise French precise, but I'm giving it a dialect pass.
Pandora has never tried to set me up.
OMG, when am I ever going to stop fiddling with this phone? I think never. I wish it could have a guest login, so I could put all my private stuff right there in the open, *my* open, but other people wouldn't see it when they picked the phone up to pry.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I am so irrationally averse to googling someone I might be seeing.
I know, right?
I found an interview from just a couple of months ago and her business website. I'm good with that. Sources that are meant to be public.

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

My boss asked me just this morning what Brandywine referred to. (Well, he asked generally, and I responded.) I was quite keen on Longwood, especially the greenhouse orchids.

Twenty-five for admission to LG now. Wow. Timed entry for Christmas. I wonder whether it's always $25, or if that was just during Christmas light time. I could explore the site more. If it is general admission price now, the cheapest membership is worth it after three visits. Hmmm. It is a lovely place. I'll put that on the list of things to investigate.
I totally would have googled, aurelia.

Yes. I think when I was a kid, my favorite thing was the bonsai garden... room... place. Anyway, I was fascinated by the age of the tiny, meticulously trimmed little trees. Still am, I guess.

Quebecois complain that Acadian French is indecipherable. Not that I can decipher either of them.

Wow, sumi, that's something about both the internment camp and the farmers' housing.
One of the old Navajo ladies near us remembers where the internment camp in our area was. It was a holding camp. Nothing is left there now, so I'd been unable to find it, but she thinks she could show us where. I haven't quite been able to steel myself to do it, but I would like to.
Yay, Allyson, I am so excited about your guitar! I want to give you lessons! Alas, I am too far. But please, please feel free to ask me anything or complain or anything you want. I'm super happy to encourage you or help you out with the process.
