I had heard that this week is the time for cookouts and celebration for your country's freedom. I know I had told some that I was excited to see how this would turn out [...] however, I must rescind my plans to join as I had said I would. I've taken ill recently and I wish to spend these days in the comfort of my castle while it's still here.

From what I've heard, however, cookouts seem to be a thing over the next two months anyway, so I will be glad to join when I'm better.

Those of you interested in learning the wandless casting style from my world, I'm going to offer free classes every Tuesday and Thursday starting next week, from 3:00pm to 4:30pm at [location*]. It'll start basic, mostly to help some of you get hand gestures down who haven't used them before.

(*The location is not rented out, but something abandoned that will be magically warded to keep from being seen or heard from the outside. They're free classes, people. She's not spending money on this.)

- interesting ensemble this morning

I knew something was amiss when first thing in the morning I found John Watson's Natu on the sill, motionlessly staring through the window. For those keeping score, I confirmed that both John and my brother Sherlock have disappeared from Tumbleweed, along with 221b. Again. Please, spare me your condolences and platitudes, I don't want to read or hear them; they are unnecessary.

On an unrelated note, I shall be going away on a business related trip to London for five days, and I require somebody to mind these pokemon in my care, the above mentioned Natu and my Eevee. Those that are interested may inquire to this post.

I much prefer cool weather fashion, which I think makes Texas problematic.

We're going to be in Florida next week with the family, but perhaps we could do something before that?

Can't wait to be in Ulaan Baatar next week. Brushing up on my Khalkha and Mongolian script, but a lot of people speak Russian or English anyway so I should be fine.

I still think I should have booked it for earlier, but at least I'm going to miss all the alien groupies coming into town for Crash Day.

Are you busy tonight? May I come over?

If he has the gauntlet, he can look like anyone. He only needs the reality stone. All he has to do is will it.

Why are we sitting here?

Told this is how we're supposed to introduce ourselves. Eliot. Not a fan.

I'm pretty sure I can live off of the amount of money I'm making with this shaved ice truck just for the summer months here.

God bless the summer sun and humidity.

If I add a new flavor should I go with blood orange or creamsicle?

So thank you, to everyone who was in on this. We’re so very lucky to have all of you here with us and to have your support, and saying more than that is going to make me even more emotional than I already am, so we’ll call it a day with that. Just thank you and I love you.

I’m going to filter those that applied for the Center in order to set up times to show them around and gather their input. What time of day works best for you?

* = apply filter liberally. chances are if gab has spoken to you more than once, she considers you a friend.

Quick PSA! If you have pets and you're looking for a way to keep them calm, have at it with relaxing music. It works on my little fur-baby just fine.

I don't remember how 4th of July was held here last year (I think it was around the time when the portal decided to make me disappear and then reappear later), but I know my favorite past time with family was always going to a fireworks festival in Jersey City and watching the NYC display from the Jersey shoreline. Anyone wanna go? We should totally make plans to at least go see the festivals before the fireworks, for the pups.

Yeah, this is home.

The bus ride wasn't so bad (for me) but we'll probably fly back. I'll be back in time for drinks with you, Ms. America.

Okay, ow. I know the memory dumps are supposed to be bad, but that was more intense than I expected.

So it's hot as bluebell flames here, isn't it? From what I've heard, it gets even worse in August.

LUCKILY, Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes has you covered. From our backroom magical line, we'd like to introduce WEASLEYS' WEARABLE WEATHER--a fashionable thermochromic ring that detects the outside temperature and creates a magical microclimate around the wearer too keep them cool as a cucumber.

So. Now that they've got no excuse to be inside on Wednesday...

Let's talk explosive stock.
