Canadians need to learn how to be as friendly as Texans, but I'm afraid it's impossible for them to learn.

Oh, the IRONY...

Puh-lease, mine and Spikey's fanfic would be a rom-com!

I knew it!

Which genre though, both of us are too old for a school story, sorry Nong. 

Maybe an inter-office romance?  I could be the studly supervisor, and you the plucky new hire everyone dumps their work on.

Kinda like Jun & Jun meets Step-by-Step, only without the weird "they were friends as children" plot that feels totally tacked on.

We can still make it a school story, but instead of being students, we'd be professors.

Well you'd be a math professor obviously... 

But me... maybe literature...or filmmaking... or drama coach.

Too bad there isn't a major on completely useless random bits of trivia.  I'd have a PHD in that by now.

Hi Terry, how are you and Aod? 

Good.  Just finished some editing for my slave driver boss and am enjoying lunch.  How about you?

Hi Page!  I loved the clock tower picture and enjoyed learning about your trip.  It sounded like you guys had a great time!

Hey, Terry!  It was fun, but I'm glad to be home again.

Everyone seems to be in bright spirits today, hope everyone's having a great Sunday.

I've been super tired all morning, flitting between wakefulness and sleep, finally I've snapped out of it.

Got my latest review for the blog all set up, so that could be something you might want to check out tomorrow... 

Nong Chai, I could kiss you in a big brotherly way.  (I wouldn't like to be whined at and called a bully.). Your Featured Story article was brilliant!

I overslept and have just got out of bed, lol. Other than that, I'm in a state of shock thanks to @spike382, but in a good way. Thank you Spikey, you know what for. 

Good morning, afternoon, evening to all, I hope your day has as good a start as mine has.

Was happy to provide something for you to read besides Drew and I arguing.

Thank you, Phi!  I'm so embarrassed that my 300 or so word review contained so many errors that I didn't spot until the damn thing was posted.   

My reviews, like most of my writing, are the hardest to write at the beginning, and once I come up with a satisfactory opener, I usually get in the zone and crank them out really fast.  I never edit them, I usually just post them, and usually Tim has a look and fixes whatever errors I've managed in such a short time.  But Tim was sick this week, and he wasn't able to do his usual edit, so it went up like that.

I haven't read it (shocker! ), but I'm sure it's fine.  Stop being hard on yourself.

I'll gladly read all your Featured Story articles over listening to you two bicker.  Not that I mind the arguments at first; those can be fun and interesting.  It's the final degradation of the argument to one-word shouting matches. Give me your great articles anytime!

Went for my second walk in two days. They were short ones, but it's a start. I didn't cough at all during the walk today, but I was winded.  

It's hard starting again.  Small victories.

Not a problem, Spike. The message conveyed has both Craig and me on a high!  Thanks again.

Hi Frogman!  I've read it, and you are right. Spike did a great job and has no reason to be hard on himself.  How are you doing?
