||||||||| A time machine materializes at 8:52 PM and EWeston bounds out, carrying a grape from ancient Greece.
||||||||| Catherwood escorts Beet inside, makes a note of the time (8:53 PM), then fades off into the distance going on about the waiting room or the sitting room or something.
Beet: HAPPY THANKSGIVING to all the Fireheads and our Friends present and absent.

Cat: after heaiing that, i really wanted to work with pete
Cat: how was the gobbling, el?
Elayne: So Cat, I have a conundrum. I want to honor Buy Nothing Day tomorrow, but I'd also like to get my oil changed. Does getting one's car serviced count as "buying?"

Tweeny: So Vegas has some tasty stuff, eh?
Tweeny: Hi Elayne
Cat: yep
Tweeny: Do you gamble while you're there?
Cat: food is a way of experience the aesthetic.
Cat: or has been for me since august, 06
Cat: i fear that window is closed
EWeston: I'm finicky, but can't imagine eating all the good stuff in just a sitting ot so.
Cat: how much enjoyment can you get from something? it changes
Tweeny: You're tongue is deteriorating?
Cat: yeah e, you have to learn how to do it. i walk miles and lift weights between courses
EWeston: Even for my tastes, I can imagine a lot, of good food.
Cat: more philosphical than that, tween. my ability to find a way into a more attracitive aesthetic universe than this one seems ot have run its course i have to find another
Elayne: Cat, looks like you're looking in the aural area now rather than the oral one.
Cat: there is a transtion el.
