The Monday Morning Memo

This is why we moved The House of the Lost Boys to that same rock shelf in the valley on which The House of the Broken Angels (Engelbrecht) sits:

  1. The wizard realized the cognoscenti enjoy hanging together more than apart.
  2. The previous location would have situated these six rooms too far from the interior comforts of Spence Manor and Engelbrecht House.
  3. The view from this new spot in the valley – with Pennie’s magnificent terraced gardens stair-stepping down, down, down, and Chapel Dulcinea rising high above – will be far more private, intimate, and complex.
  4. This location allows us to put the pig-roasting pit from Brian Scudamore and the gang at 1-800-GOT-JUNK in a spot where the largest number of people can gather for a feast.
  5. When the wizard casually mentioned this possibility to Princess Pennie (who has complete authority in such matters,) she was instantly enthusiastic.
  6. Brittington was instantly enthusiastic, as well.
  7. Three days after we made this decision, we were informed by the authorities of Hays County, Texas, that our previous location was zoned strictly for single family dwellings. Serendipity! Our new valley location is unrestricted. Woo-hoo!

Random Quote:

“Huge numbers of our population believe in a complete alternate reality. Alternate facts as it were. But just as intensely as I believe they are deluded, they think I am the one who is deluded. Maybe I am. So how can I be confident in my perception? It can be quite difficult. But I have found that in times of confusion, particularly when emotions are running high and creating tunnel vision, the presence of Nazis can be an extremely helpful indicator. If I am attending a local demonstration or event and I see Nazis… neo-Nazis, miscellaneous-Nazis or the latest-whatever-uber-mythology-Nazis, I figure out which side they are on. And if they are on my side of the demonstration? I am on the wrong side. It is tough to argue moral equivalence when I am standing next to a Nazi. Look to my right. Is there a guy wearing a 6MWE (6 million wasn’t enough) t-shirt? I am on the wrong side. Look to my left. If that guy is wearing a Camp Auschwitz t-shirt? Wrong side. Speakers referring to things Hitler got right? Wrong side. Team-spirit face paint and hat with horns? This is an unclear indicator that could mean anything but safest to keep my distance from that guy even at a football game. But I can always, always, always, rely on the presence of Nazis as a guiding light through a fog of disinformation. Some things are relative, but evil and good are absolute.”
