I'm sorry, Suzi.
Kat, I hope they get your dad's cardiac issues fixed soon.
Nothing worse than a monster who thinks he's right with God.

Finally, I need to ask, since I am a non-kale-eater: why does it need to be massaged?
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!)

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

Intriguing. Also slightly intimidating. I usually don't have to take my food to the spa before I eat it.

Also it's easier to be irked by my mom than to worry about my dad.
I tend to go the direct route and get mad at the patient.
Crazy winds just kicked in. I seriously thought there was a miscreant in the alley, since I wasn't expecting it.

Well, my dad is currently in the hospital with some liquid in lungs and he won't answer the phone so it seems useless to be mad at him.
My dad has been hospitalized with this at least two times before. Hence the defibrillator.
AND now I have to find another old person for Grace to interview but it has to be an old person with access to technology so Grace can skype. It's complicated.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I hope they figure that out for your father, Kat.

Kat, I think my mother Skypes. Do you want me to give you her contact info? She's old as balls.
