Grace has a social studies project we have to do this weekend. So I called my mom to set up a skype (Grace has to interview an old person, essentially). My mom then tells me she is driving between hospitals because my dad is having heart problems.
Um. Thanks for keeping me in the loop. Had I not called she wouldn't have called me.

Also it's easier to be irked by my mom than to worry about my dad. (Atrial firbrillation not being helped by his pacemaker/defirbrillaton).

Yikes, Kat's dad, get good cardiac care! Kat's mom, tell Kat these things!
Suzi, that blows. I'm sorry you were so let down.
Finally, I need to ask, since I am a non-kale-eater: why does it need to be massaged? (I have been eating a lot of spinach in smoothies, though. I feel like Popeye.)

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
My dad had that and they seem to have solved it with an ablation. It took some time to get there though.

I'm sorry, Suzi.
Kat, I hope they get your dad's cardiac issues fixed soon.

It makes it more tender so nicer to eat raw.

So raw kale is less...floppy than other greens? Like, compared to, say, spinach or romaine, it it markedly more stiff? (I'm such a kale n00b!)

Yes! More fibrous.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Yeah. If you don't massage it, it requires a whole lot of chewing if you want to eat it raw.
