Finally, Jon includes me in the ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT marathon email list! At least undesirable people do not seem to be invited; I'll be happy to see Jeremy, of course! Lunch and dinner need to be coordinated since we leave after Sunday School for Steph's place! As for this Friday's dilemma, I'll probably stay home because I do need to catch up on stuff and soak in the downtime. ;)

Trivia fact for Thursday, Oct. 27: How did members of the nobility come to be called blue bloods? In Spain, blue blood was claimed by pure-blooded aristocratic families to differentiate themselves from those who had intermarried. They were not referring to the color of the blood they bled, but rather to the blueness of their veins, which could be seen clearly through their very fair skin.
