aldersprigI am full of chocolate, as T. messaged me that he would like some chocolate. He was very unclear on what sort, just having, it seemed, a vague craving, so I took a walk and bought chocolate mousse, mocha mousse, two chocolate cookies, and beer.
(The beer is not chocolate).
Today's home-buying adventure is "dry closing:" http://www.fhainfo.com/escrowclosing.htm

So, I go back to Addergoole, to some time in the past, and Mike VanderLinden.
Mike had known for months that things were going to go south with Judith, but the woman was so tight about her emotions, he couldn't get her to say anything. It was when she walked into his studio and wrinkled her nose at him that he knew they could finally be done.
"Mammon," she pronounced disdainfully.
"Yes, my love," he grinned, lounging ostentatiously on the silk sheets, "but it's what keeps a roof over your head."
