"Persons oughtn't to take things personally" is adapted from Joanna Russ's On Strike Against God: A Lesbian Love Story (Crossing Press, Freedom CA, 1980; p. 84).

I was about to comment on that line. It sticks in the back of the brain. I suspect it's going to be blurted out at the most -interesting- of moments in the future. Oh dear.

I know. The original line is "Persons shouldn't take things personally." That whole book is brilliant, every line of it, and I find myself quoting it at the oddest times.

I remember cats, a crow, a chicken, and a mongoose... Were there any lizards in the series?

[akycha]

I... don't think so. In fact, I didn't remember the mongoose until you recalled it to mind!

Poor C-ko.

Love you.
