sovay | I was blindsided by your steady arms held out

I am not interested in tempting fate, I just wish to note that I had a really nice day with my husbands.

rushthatspeaks came over in the afternoon; he brought my long-deferred Christmas present from

nineweaving, Christopher A. Faraone's spectacular-looking The Transformation of Greek Amulets in Roman Imperial Times (2015), which includes recipes and rituals in its appendices. Mamaleh's was closing early when I called, but agreed to deliver to us nonetheless so that we got our 50/50s and whitefish salad and duck pastrami. We set the table, which was amazingly domestic. Autolycus was preemptively sequestered. After dinner, while

spatch transcribed notes for a project, Rush-That-Speaks and I repaired to the couch and watched the Wachowskis' Speed Racer (2008), which looked like an '80's video game filtered through '50's Technicolor and was completely delightful. "Terrible what passes for a ninja these days." Hestia slept on the heating grate under the bed; Autolycus emerged from his sequestration and gently tested gravity. My brother drove by and dropped off homemade chicken soup and rolls. It was pretty cool. My new book made me think instantly of the copper-wire fascinus that lives in the glass-fronted cabinet, which

ladymondegreen sent us all those years ago.

That sounds like real, good life. I loved reading it.

P.

That sounds like a wonderful day--wishing you lots more of them!

So glad you liked Speed Racer! I loved the colors and the theme song.

I look forward to your testing some amulet recipes.

My mind insisted these two sentence bits went together, which would have been a domestic afternoon of a rather different kind.
