when connie & dad got engaged, they were at seminary

That right there is a great opening line.

Dad was a methodist and Connie a presbyterian. They adopted two kittens.

"Callie" is short for Calvin, and the other was Wesley

LOL Okay, that's excellent.

always amused me

There's a short story I like that includes a graduate lit major who has two parakeets. They're both named John. So they're a "pair of Keats."

ha!

I cranked the thermostat up to 62. I'm reckless and decadent, baby.

hahahah

do you have an electric blanket?

Hang on, cat is asking to go out. I expect he'll change his mind.

they are amazing

silly kitty

Anyway, YES, just got an electric blanket. It's so SOFT....like teddy bear soft. But it's on the bed, and I'm not going to take it off of there.

fair

I think the Dodo bird brothers are Firnost's porgs.

the dodos are cute

I like 'em.

me too

an aside, since we're all ferkakta on timelines - Bird might not be very good at being comforting, but she'll try with Cora. Hang out. Bring drinks. Ice cream?

Argh...opened up a page that froze my computer.

boo

Mm...I'm thinking the 24th (The day after the baron died) is largely going to be about damage control and clean up, and trying to figure out who does what in this new administration. She'll NEED Sparrow to pull her away from it all for a while, yes. Would be happy to RP a convo. I'm not at all sure where things are going from here (and neither is Coradel).

Yeah

ER? PM? PBEM?

ER?

On the way.

you can go slow or fast in slack

True! 🙂

it's a nice hybrid, I think

I like that you don't lose text immediately...and it's easy to archive stuff.

Maybe I should move RV to a Slack room.

or both!

I do like the chatzies

There's something appealing about them, I know.

less cleanup for archiving

PC names

no timestamps

Yes. That. All of it. 🙂

I have two Porg mugs.

aw

I am holding onto them for gifts.

fun

We'll see. My kids haven't done the work needed to go see the damn thing yet. Might leave them with Grandma and see it while she's here.

aw

I know, but....!!!!

nudge Christmas miracle. Mom lets 'em see it on the promise that they'll do the work later.
