So I've been negligent by nearly a week. I've been having nightmares about returning to work, or at least night sweats. Lostin's extended visit was welcome and cozy, though a little greasy when it came to duck roasting time. I have been otherwise unproductive but snuggly, with Joephet, despite our perennial hestiations over what to actually order for dinner. I wish I had more to report, but I've been short of anything.

Oh, yes. I am disturbed that Susan Sontag has passed--Alric always had a crush on young Susan Sontag.
