celebrating at last

Sue turned in a novel yesterday, after pulling a nearly complete all-nighter.
We're hoping to go out tonight to finally celebrate our 27th wedding anniversary.
Better eleven days late than never.

"Caliban's War"

"This was home enough."

That was my favorite line in James S. A. Corey's novel "Caliban's War". I must say that Avasarala, who thought the above, grew on me, and how could she not, being a tiny foul-mouthed granny from India - and one of future Earth's most powerful politicians? That being said, I'd like to know who I should blame for the pun in the exchange between a very young lady and her dad after Avasarala forgot there were kids in the room.

"What's a whore, Daddy?"
"It's a kind of frost, honey."

...that this possibility of a job elsewhere at the office works out.
