Aliens in the Office
I've been confident for some time that Pastor Vague is a space alien, attempting unsuccessfully to use observation to fit in among humans*. Today I discovered evidence that his date of earthfall was sometime in the 1990s or later.
He's working on a book about a clergywoman he admires, and occasionally (because he's too vague to use Amazon successfully) he'll ask me to order a book for him. Today he said, "The title is 'Right Wing Women,' and the author is D-W-O-R-K --"
"Oh, Andrea Dworkin?" I said.
He frowned, perplexed. "You've heard of her? What is she, an important historian or something?"
Somehow I have a feeling the book he's writing is not going to be a very good book.
(A couple of months ago he asked me if I'd ever heard of an author named (phonetically) P.G. Woad-house, who was pretty good.)

We're going to Disney World on Sunday! The spouse's parents are sending us there for the kidlet's 12th birthday. "I don't know what we've done to deserve a gift like that," I told my mother-in-law, and she said, "Well, you're pretty good kids."
So you may not hear from me until I'm completely exhausted. Possibly even sunburned. Have a good time while I'm gone, and keep fandom warm for me!

* You may not be surprised to learn that this sort of thing is much less sexy when it comes from people not played by Benedict Cumberbatch.

We also shared books. Not Dworkin, or Wodehouse, but Amitrav Ghosh and Sarah Dunant.
Hope you have a lovely time in Disney World!

Pastor Fix-It used to say, "Half the crazy people I know want to be pastors, and the other half want to be counselors."

Hee!
A couple of months ago he asked me if I'd ever heard of an author named (phonetically) P.G. Woad-house, who was pretty good.
Double hee!

This has been a source of perpetual disappointment to me throughout my life.

But alas, my Cumberbatch rating is zero.

Hee. I don't find him particularly sexy either, but your point stands, oh so much.

Have a great time at Disney World! If you get there at or before opening there is a small window when the rides are line-free, although a Sunday in January doesn't seem like it should be that busy in the first place.

(And then we came home and it was 16 degrees with snow predicted.)
