And the family was pretty shitty to her at the funeral. It was only as they all began to move past their grief that they realised they were all connected as family, whether they liked it or not.

I think that the Maggie meltdown and runoff was used to illustrate that she wasnt the Peace And Quiet lady that Nate longed for and couldnt find in Brenda, and that he would go to Brenda upon realization of this. Of course, this isalso from Brenda's POV that she accepts that she is not quite so damaged and unlovable on some level. Whether she takes him back or not is unclear, but the fact that she awoke when he kissed her suggested that she would not have. She learns she is lovable and then is able to love her kid and herself and move on.

Sounds like the voice of experience talking.

Just so you know, I can italicize without doing all that. Because well, you know, I've managed to learn a little HTML over the years.

oh, you mean like [hi less!!!] where Everyone knows Penske's socks don't suck [/hi less!!!]?

It isn't working

Huh. To me, that kiss was more about accepting the fact that she loved him and he loved her. And that they'd never be able to resolve anything else, because, well, Nate, he dead.

I would hold degrees from Harvard, MIT and Northeastern.

You have to go into "options" and see if it's enabled. I think it is, for the default, but maybe yours got changed. Or you typed in too many spaces -- or something.

Could be. Could be all of these things. I guess this is what people discuss in fiction book clubs.

WHy didnt Lisa make an appearance?

I don't care. Lisa sucked. Who would she have appeared to?

That was a very educational whiff.

Jesus, Coltrane. I'm out of the office for one stinking day and you've forgotten me already? Did Prague mean nothing to you?

Clearly, a clever gambit to trick me into using the "w" word.

Sorry, bitch. Ain't gonna do it. My will is strong.

Strange. I didn't think MIT had a football team.
