Aw, I missed a day.  So much for Posting Streak!

Excuses include: having brought work home, trying to shake off a migraine and failing, going to bed early, being an asshole.

Short conversation follows, mostly because I'm still trying to shake off the migraine:

The Spouse is driving us through backroads on a 6 hour car trip with the ultimate destination: wedding still 3 hours away.  I'm distracted by a why am I still reading this terrible fic on my Kindle.  We pass a car dealer ( Read more... )
