Here at Beige University, the main topic of conversation is the football team’s offense, or rather, lack of same. I mean, winning a game by the score of 3-2??????
There’s more offense going on back home, where Kell’s Cousin Sheila breezed in and began making antagonistic comments about Kell’s life choices. Kell, of course, responded in kind and Dad and Elanor could only look on. Rudy texted details to me as if they were reports from a warfront.
I Googled Sheila, and saw that she’s single, childless, never married, the same age as Kell and a geologist who travels all over the world. Her rootlessness contrasts with Kell, who has always resided in this metro area except when she went to Beige for college. Sheila is also an absolute dead ringer for Kell, and at first I wondered if she was really Kell’s human counterpart. But no, I recalled that Danielle said that the human Kell is still on her side of the portal, married to the human version of Dad. (Danielle still refuses to say how that marriage breaks a social taboo, but she says it’s a significant one.)
Responding to some of the issues that were raised on the blog during the past week after I logged off, we also have a Large Hadron Collider (LHC) which just went online in Europe. It’s a particle accelerator, the largest of its kind, and as a scientist I’d like to reassure everyone on both sides of the portal that it won’t create any black holes that will swallow the world. Just relax; we have far more likely dangers to worry about such as threats to our environment.
On the matter of slightly less importance, I’m afraid I wasn’t explicit enough about Rudy and Fiona. They haven’t done anything untoward. I have this from two sources: Fiona, who told me just that, and Rudy, by reading his non-verbal cues. (Canines are like an open book.)
