luggage.
12:12 What's up with Allen? Which mid-life crisis is
this, Beverly has lost count. 'wordsman says it must be at least 7. Rob
says this time it sounds serious. Beverly says every time it sounds
serious.
12:17 Rob says Allen sounds a bit over his head with
the
Frenchness of her. Beverly says her apparent Smartness is a much more
important parameter than her Frenchness. He's been moaning about
wanting someone smart. Be careful what you wish for.
12:22 Why do they make shampoo that makes a fellow
smell

suggestive spam e-mail from mosquitos, based on one whiff of his
shampooed hair. 'wordsman has a mosquito pen-pal in Latvia.

year. Beverly says: Doubtful.

old "Face the Demons" game show on TV after school as a
kid.

hitchiking backpacking trip in Asia with someone psychologically
minded. Long talks over a flickering fire. Long hours of walking to
process and reflect. 'wordsman appends a wish that Allen's hiking
companion be both psychologically minded and attractive. For Allen's
sake. Beverly slonks him with her shoulder.

12:54 Is this penguin thoughtful or wistful? It's a
crucial difference.
12:59 'wordsman wishes that Allen could find a
creative
outlet worthy of his talents, like making fine art or having kids. His
inability to stretch his wings makes him selfish. Beverly and Rob say
'wordsman is right on.
12:04 'wordsman points out that what is usually
translated as "horsehair-crested helmet" might actually
mean
"Ice Squid." Beverly pays for everyone's lunch. Hugs and
