Tag game: Tour my bookshelf!

@totally-not-one-of-the-fae, thank you for tagging me!

An estimate of how many physical books I own: I just counted, and I have 772 plus two boxes about 2' x 3' x 18" stuffed full that I didn't bother to drag out and count XD (And I'm pretty sure I have other books scattered throughout other boxes that I missed counting.) So I have over 800 books!

Favorite author: I definitely don't have one favorite author, but some of my favorites are J.R.R. Tolkien, C.S. Lewis, Murray N. Rothbard, Socrates, Richard J. Maybury, and Chuck Black

A popular book I've never read and never intend to read: Mine is likely also the Harry Potter series, though I may re-read it at some point (if I have nothing else to read or do, which will likely be...never XD)

A popular book I thought was just meh: I don't really pay attention to the popularity of books, so I'm not sure what books I've read are popular, and I also don't remember the names of books that I think are neither good nor bad, so I can't really answer this question.

Longest book I own: Based purely on page number, which varies depending upon the size of the books and page thickness, the longest book I own is The MacArthur Study Bible at 2,247 pages. After comes another Bible and then The Complete Works of Shakespeare.

Longest series I own all the books to: Probably The Chronicles of Narnia

Prettiest book I own: The Barnes and Noble edition of The Prince by Niccoló Machiavelli; it is black, gold, and silver with gilded edges and I find it both beautiful and stately. Actually, here's photos of it:

A book or series I wish more people knew about: Oh, there are so many good ones! If we're sticking to fiction, I would probably say Ranger's Apprentice, The Knights of Arrethtrae, or The Silmarillion (though I'm not sure how well-known those are). They are really good books and series that I enjoy and are on my re-read list, which is carefully curated to only my absolute favorites. If we're discussing non-fiction, I would say Whatever Happened to Justice? by Richard J. Maybury (this is an interesting look at justice and the legal system in non-technical terms), The Amazing Dr. Ransom's Bestiary of Adorable Fallacies by Douglas Wilson & N. D. Wilson (a hilarious and informative book on the different kinds of informal logical fallacies), and Economics in One Lesson by Henry Hazlitt (an informative introduction to economics in non-technical terms).

Book I'm reading now: Most recently, The Silmarillion, though I am currently reading several books.

Book that's been on my TBR list for a while but I still haven't got around to it:

Again, there are so many on this list! However, the one I'm planning to read next is The Lord of the Rings.

Do you have any books in a language other than English: Yes, even though I can't read them...yet! From what I can remember, I own two books in German, two in Spanish, and one in Korean.

And lastly, paperback, hardcover or ebook? I generally prefer hardback because they are sturdier and from what I've seen are usually prettier; however they are also more expensive and heavier, so I only buy hardback books when the book is a favorite of mine and I'm planning on re-reading it.

No-pressure tagging @solarcola, @hirazuki, @dreamingthroughthenoise, @nutmegs-tired, @actual-bill-potts, @eilinelsghost, @erdariel, @backgroundelf, @mersilisk, @none-ofthisnonsense, @thelordofgifs, @invisiblewashboard, @sweetmaggie, @violecov, @quixoticanarchy, @milesasinmorales, @dicksoutformtl, @aureentuluva70, @curiouselleth, @warthoong, and anyone else who wants to join!

NOTHING COMPARES (2022)

Featuring Sinéad O’Connor, Jeannette Byrne, Paul Byrne, Mike Clowes, Bill Coleman, Chuck D, Fr. Brian D’Arcy, John Grant, Kate Garner, Margo Harkin, Roisin Ingle, Dr. Sinéad Kennedy, Clodagh Latimer, Claire Lewis, John Maybury, Peaches, Marco Pirroni, John Reynolds, Elaine Schock, Skin and Jerry Stafford.

Written by Eleanor Emptage, Kathryn Ferguson and Michael Mallie.

Directed by Kathryn Ferguson.

Distributed by Showtime. 96 minutes. Not Rated.

The Sinéad O’Connor documentary Nothing Compares starts with one of the more horrific moments in an often-tragic life.

It took place soon after the Irish vocalist started a media firestorm while performing on Saturday Night Live, where after doing a passionate a capella rendition of Bob Marley’s protest song “War,” O’Connor said to the camera, “Fight the real enemy” and ripped up a photo of Pope John Paul II. (At the time of the incident, SNL head honcho Lorne Michaels banned O’Connor from the show and swore that the footage of the performance would never be seen again, however it has been trotted out often over the years – and is included yet again in this documentary.)

Anyway, soon afterwards, O’Connor had been invited to an all-star celebration of Bob Dylan’s 30 years in music. All of the guest singers were performing Dylan songs in honor of the show’s host. Kris Kristofferson introduced O’Connor, “I’m real proud to introduce this next artist whose name became synonymous with courage and integrity. Ladies and gentlemen, Sinéad O’Connor.” and the New York crowd turned on her – booing her lustily to the point that she could not even get her song (which was supposed to be Dylan’s 1979 tune “I Believe in You”) out. She stood silently at the microphone for a while, but the booing just got worse. Finally she spat out another angry rendition of Marley’s “War” and stalked offstage.

What was it about O’Connor – a woman who was smart, principled, passionate, giving, progressive, professional and both fierce and damaged at the same time – which brought out these intense reactions?

Nothing Compares tries, mostly successfully, to explain this. It also does a good job of showing how O’Connor was ahead of her time – both as a musician and as a human rights activist. It also shows that beyond all other things, she was a scared former victim of abuse who was in way over her head in a world she wasn’t even sure she wanted to be a part of.

Nothing Compares mostly focuses on the years 1987 to 1993, the supernova part of O’Connor’s early career when she released her first three albums – The Lion and the Cobra (1987), I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got (1990) and the all-covers album Am I Not Your Girl? It was also the period of time when – for better or worse (and sometimes both) – O’Connor was a regular in the rock and tabloid press.

If you lived through the 1980s and 90s, you probably remember it well. O'Connor went from a talented, sensitive alt-rock chick to a superstar who had had to deal with a million-selling single and the apparent inability to follow it up. Then she had to deal with the “Star-Spangled Banner” incident, the bald chick jokes, the Pope controversy, getting lustily booed off the stage at the Garden, a failed suicide attempt and even the threat of an ass-kicking from Ol’ Blue Eyes. (And, this documentary shows, also the threat of a beatdown from Joe Pesci.)

O’Connor, speaking now with years of hindsight, acknowledges that she never got into music for money and stardom. In fact, she considered it a form of therapy, and if no one ever heard it, she was fine with that. Early on, when she got critical acclaim and a certain amount of notice for her debut album and her first single “Mandinka,” her life was mostly in control. She married young, had a baby, toyed with acting and was able to mostly live her own life. Even her dramatic fashion sense and look was not to get attention, it was just an expression of her individuality.

Of course, all this changed when O’Connor recorded a fairly obscure song by musical icon Prince called “Nothing Compares 2 U,” which the songwriter had written for the debut album of a short-lived group on his label called The Family, which was a spinoff of The Time. “Nothing Compares” wasn’t even the single from The Family album, it was a song called “The Screams of Passion.” It was an album track on a barely noticed record. And O’Connor’s sparse and emotional cover made the song her own – and became a number one single internationally.

It seemed odd that throughout the film they have lots of O’Connor’s music throughout the film, with the exception of her one huge hit single, the one song she is known best for. Then a chyron over the end credits explains ‘The Prince Estate denied use of Sinéad’s recording of ‘Nothing Compares 2 U’ in this film.” In fact, O’Connor’s entire, somewhat fraught relationship with the late music superstar who wrote her biggest hit is completely ignored, to the point that the film never even mentions that it was Prince who wrote the song until that quick disclaimer at the end of the film.

Other tragedies in her life were also skirted over or not mentioned, like her attempted suicide attempt and her son’s later problems with mental illness and drugs which led to his death. This last thing happened years after the thrust of the film, however at the end Nothing Compares does flash forward to the present day for a performance and also to celebrate the large part O’Connor played in getting abortion legalized in her home of Ireland – and her difficulties with her son was certainly a defining part of her life.

However, I can see why O’Connor would not want to discuss these horrible situations and I cannot totally blame director Kathryn Ferguson for not pushing these subjects. Nothing Compares is more of a celebration of a quirky, groundbreaking career and a woman’s principled (if sometimes a little exasperating) refusal to be what the machine wanted from her.

And it is good to see that despite all of the hardships she has had through her life – whether self-caused or through wild fate – Sinéad O’Connor seems to have become a rather well-grounded and somewhat content adult. Also, Nothing Compares proves that she was never just a one-hit-wonder. Even without her biggest hit, there is some fantastic music here that still feels groundbreaking 30 years on.

kenzie on TikTok, The Sims, and “Happy For Me” [Q&A]

Today is the day that the song that has been stuck in my head on REPEAT for weeks is out. I had the absolute pleasure of hearing kenzie’s “Happy For Me” pre-release and to say I’ve been highly anticipating the official drop of the track is an understatement.

“Happy For Me” carries a clear message message of hurt and heartbreak, but as you listen and pay closer attention, you begin to hear the true meaning behind the lyrics. Surrounding the thematic journey of breaking out of a place of darkness to arrive at a place in your life where you can be truly proud of yourself, Kenzie’s latest single is wholly relatable and heartfelt.

Kenzie has recently been paving her way as an enviable rising talent; leaving behind a major label to embark on the journey of making music on her own terms. “Happy For Me” is only the beginning for this young rising artist, and an exciting beginning at that.

With an EP, the forthcoming 206, in the works and hot off the heels of a standout single, we had the chance to catch up with kenzie.

Ones to Watch: Congrats on the release of “Happy For Me!” For those who may not know, who is Kenzie?

Kenzie: That’s a hard question! I grew up dancing and started at two years old. I got into music when I was about eight doing voice lessons at my dance studio and I just fell in love with it. That’s when I started making music, which was terrible by the way... no one go and listen to it. I just knew it was something I wanted to pursue and now that I get to finally record my own songs and write my own songs, it’s just so amazing. It’s like my dream.

What message do you hope people take away from “Happy For Me?”

I mean it’s really all about self-love. When I was first writing it, it was mainly about a relationship and how I had a shitty ex and how now I’m in a happy relationship but really, I was listening back and was like this is actually about me and how I am happy for myself now. How I’m going on this self-growth and self-love journey which is amazing. I think I just want people to take away that they can relate to it and go on their self-growth journey as well.

Going off of that... when you started writing for “Happy For Me,” did you realize that it was about yourself or did that the realization come later down the line?

Yeah, I was writing it with Lenii and Bill Maybury and we were talking about what I want to write about and I was like “I just want to write about how for all these years of me dating terrible boys, I am finally in a great relationship and I want to write it about him.” Of course it’s about my boyfriend but if you listen to it, it is really about how I am happy for myself which is really cool because that wasn’t our intention at all.

What was the writing process for the track like and how was your songwriting impacted by the pandemic?

Yeah, I wrote this song on over Zoom before I met them which is so weird and in quarantine, it’s so unmotivating to write songs... like I’m sure all of the songwriters think writing on Zoom is so weird. You can’t feel the energy, you can’t hug everyone and can’t feel entirely comfortable. It’s weird getting up and just sitting in my bed writing a song... Lenii actually moved here [from Ireland] so I get to meet her and work with her all of the time which is great but every other song I wrote, I have never met these people in real life and I’m so close with them over Zoom which is so weird.

How do you deal with heartbreak and what’s your best piece of advice for someone looking to move on?

My last relationship I was in... it was super hard for me. We broke up, but I got over it really fast because I was constantly hanging with my girlfriends. I wasn’t just laying in bed because that’s something you should never do when you’re going through a heartbreak. I was just trying to be as social as I can be (this was right before the pandemic hit.. thank god). I was just like, I know I can’t sit in my bed and it just made everything great. It helped having my friends come over and cheer me up and do normal things. I would just say try to be as social as you can and don’t sit in your bed because that’s when you overthink.

Can we expect more music soon?

I’m actually working on an EP right now and a lot of other music that I’m so excited for. I actually just played my music for my sister yesterday, which was so weird because I’ve been making music for a long time. She was like “why have I not heard any of your music before it comes out?” I played her everything and whenever she gets excited about something it makes me so much more excited because I know she loves it. I just trust her with everything and she loves it all and that makes me so happy... like I have gotten the best response from my friends, my sister, and my mom. It means so much.

How does being so big on TikTok and being in the public eye affect your music and overall self?

I’m obviously so grateful for everything I have like I would not be able to make music or everything that I’m doing now without a platform but I think for everyone - even if you don’t have a lot of followers, social media can be so draining. I’ve had to take so many breaks off of Instagram and TikTok because everyone is so mean. I can’t just let these people walk all over me, I need to just shut it out because I will and I do read everything. So I think a lot of my music is not like hatred towards social media but it is just like... I feel like I always have to look so perfect on social media and that’s toxic. I should just be posting whatever I want. I think on TikTok it is way more acceptable to not wear makeup and be weird, and that’s why I love TikTok. You can make the funniest videos and everyone’s like wow you’re funny.

What other things are you doing outside of music?

My sister and I are doing a podcast which is so exciting. We have always wanted to do this and so many people were asking for it. We have the funniest humor together and we’re so weird. We can talk for hours on hours so we decided to make one but it’s called Take 20, so it’s only 20 minutes of your day and we kind of just talk about important topics, like having struggles with mental health, relationships, or having a sister, what it’s like. We just wanted it to be very relatable and not scripted, not anything! We just sit together and talk for hours and everyone is like, okay time to stop talking!

What’s one thing people don’t know about you?

I feel like I’m very transparent on social media. I feel like everyone knows everything about me but I don’t know if this is something everyone know about me, I love video games. I will sit in my room for hours with my boyfriend and we will play games together. I am the biggest game nerd.

What’s your go-to game right now?

I love to play The Sims, that is my game. And my boyfriend always makes fun of me and is like... what do you even do and I’m like “I’m building a family.” And also, my boyfriend and I used to play Among Us, which was a huge game but now we play Roblox... he will probably kill me for telling people this because he’s so embarrassed that he plays it.

If you could collaborate with any artist in the world, who would it be?

Ok well... Justin Bieber. I feel like he was everyone’s crush when they were younger and I still love him. I remember crying at one of his concerts because he didn’t pick me to be his one less lonely girl... I was literally eight. Another one would be Billie Eilish because I look up to her so much and she’s so talented.

Who are your Ones to Watch?

I’ve really been loving Steve Lacy recently, I think he’s so cool and different than everyone else. I think he also records everything on his iPhone which is so interesting! I also just love SZA, I know she’s more mainstream but I've been loving her recently.

4 Best Flat Roof Materials

Replacing your commercial roof isn’t like buying a new blend of coffee for the office — you don’t make a decision this big on a whim. If you’re looking to replace the roof on your business or one of the buildings you manage, you do your research and you find the best flat roof materials for your needs and your budget.

With a marketplace crowded by a ton of options, deciding on the best flat roof materials for your project can be difficult. J. Smucker Contracting can help — we’re a commercial-only roofer that specializes in both roof coatings and total roof replacement.

High-Performing Commercial Roofing Material Types

When analyzing the different commercial roofing material types, you’ll want to know about the lifespan, the bottom line price, and the ease of maintenance of each of your options. We break down the most popular and best commercial roof materials that you should consider when replacing your business’s roof.

PVC Roofing

For many projects, PVC roofing is our preferred choice as the best flat roof material on the market. PVC roofing is somewhat more expensive than other single-ply commercial roofing materials, however it offers a wide range of benefits for the price. First, the reinforced membrane makes PVC roofs resistant to impact damage and the cracking which normally shortens the lifespan of single-ply roofs. PVC roofing is one of the best flat roof materials because it is low maintenance with a long lifespan. At J. Smucker Contracting, we offer a 20-year warranty on new PVC roofing we install. In addition, just like TPO roofing, PVC is a reflective white color which is useful as it dramatically lowers the business’s energy bills.

Metal Roofing

A commercial standing seam metal roof is the ideal choice for a building with a roof slope greater than 2 inches. Metal is different from most other commercial roofing material types for a few reasons. Due to the expert installation process and the nature of the material, metal is the most expensive roof type to have installed. However, metal roofing has the longest lifespan, lasting between 20 and 30 years. Metal is an extremely durable material and is immune to cracks that affect single-ply roofs. However, metal roofs can be susceptible to leaks around the seams and roof edges.

TPO

This very popular roof type is also among the best flat roof materials to install. Not only is a TPO roof an inexpensive option, it has a decent lifespan between 10 and 20 years. In addition, these white-coat roofs have all of the same energy saving properties as PVC roofs. Plus, they require less maintenance than EPDM roofs, as the seams are heat welded to prevent leaks.

Modified Bitumen Roof

When compared to other commercial roofing materials, modified bitumen stands out as the more-budget friendly option. Modified bitumen roofs use an asphalt membrane as the base of the roof itself. This surface is susceptible to cracking and blistering which reduces the typical lifespan to just 10 to 15 years. While the lifespan is less than the more advanced options, the price point alone can make modified bitumen one of the best flat roof materials for some businesses.

If you know you need a commercial roof replacement, we’re the team to trust. At J. Smucker Contracting, we have experience with all 4 of the best commercial roofing material types.

Roof Restoration

While J. Smucker Contracting is experienced in roof tear-offs and full-roof replacement, we often recommend using a commercial roof restoration as an alternative. Based around our Conklin roof coating solution, roof restoration fixes leaks and other areas of damage while keeping your business’s roof protected for more than a decade. Our commercial roof restoration coatings completely cover the old and damaged roof, essentially creating a roof that is better than when it was new.

Learn more about roof replacement vs restoration.

Learn More about the Best Flat Roof Materials

Whether you know you need a new roof or you’d like to explore cost-effective roof restoration, it is a major decision that has a massive impact on your business. Research and consultation plays a crucial role when deciding whether you want to explore total roof replacement, as well as the best flat roof materials for your situation.

We offer a roof inspection and free consultation to help any potential clients with this decision.

Light Reading On Court Stripping

Donald Trump’s Reign of Error has left some positive residue. It got people to vote in large numbers, and it also got them to consider the meaning of “checks and balances” with reference to the U. S. Constitution. Congress, particularly the Senate, hasn’t provided much of a civics lesson on that point, but what about the Supreme Court? Did it insulate the country from presidential overreach? According to some pundits, its performance has been a mixed bag. The authority of the Supreme Court is enshrined in Article 111, Section 2 of the Constitution. It gives that body the power to determine what are issues of law are and rule accordingly. (“Maybury vs. Madison”) Historically, neither the White House nor Congress have been comfortable with its jurisdiction and have tried to provide oversight through judicial appointments. Amy Coney Barrett’s is a recent example. Ultra-conservative, she replaces an ultra-liberal judge, Ruth Bader Ginsberg. Congressional Democrats are rattled by the conservative shift the new appointee brings to the Court. They talk of remedies like increasing the number of justices or initiating term limits for judges. Congress has the authority to regulate the Courts under the “exception” clause of section ii, an effort to ensure an elected body has final jurisdiction over an appointed one. In 1982, after Roe v. Wade, a young lawyer, looking for a third way to reign-in the courts, made an unorthodox proposal. (“Pack the Supreme Court, or Stripe Its Powers?” by David Yaffe-Bellany, Bloomberg Businessweek, October 12, 2020, pgs. 36-37.) Under the exception clause, he argued Congress could regulate what cases came before the high court and which did not. In today’s world, for example, if Congress wanted to pass a sweeping “Green New Deal,” but feared a conservative Supreme Court would overturn it, legislators could add language to the bill that exempted it from the high court’s oversight. That would strip the judiciary of its jurisdiction. A snag exists, however. Article 111 gives the Supreme Court the power to determine what is “law” and “equity” which means, according to Maybury vs. Madison, the Court has the right to decide what is law and could exercise that right. The inevitable battle between the branches of government would weaken our democracy, so no one as yet has had the stomach to play that gambit. But times change. A discussion about the Constitution is apt to make a person’s eyelids grow heavy, instilling the need for a nap. But not to worry. Even a Constitutional crisis has its ironies and bits of humor. Take that young lawyer who was so incensed by Roe v. Wade that he proposed to strip the high court of its power, for example. His name is John Roberts. Yes, that one! The Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court. “O, what a tangled web we weave…” (Walter Scott.)

No Place like Home

for @txf-fic-chicks post-episode/missing scene fic challenge ... cranked out after feeding the dog and cat and before leaving for church ... proofed while my kid watched, at high volume, Shawn Mendes sing ‘Mercy’ ... any and all errors are her fault :)

______________

She needed to eat.

He needed to eat.

That’s not to say they wanted to eat but need took precedence over desire to curl up and die while the Peacock brothers headed to points unknown with their mother in the trunk and a straight family tree laid out in front of them, uncurving, unbranched and unthinkable.

Scully saw that he was guiding her towards the diner across the street and thinking about shaking his steadying hand from her elbow, she felt him lean in, “we need food before we drink liquor or else we’ll be drunk as soon as we open the magic bottle and passed out by the third sip.”

She couldn’t argue the sound logic and relented, her feet shuffling her across clean roadway and up unchipped curb to a diner that looked like it fell out of Maybury, much, she cringed, like Andy Taylor had. About to slip further into her depression from the last four days, she perked up at the smell of homemade food and ‘Chantily Lace’ playing passively through the speakers. Leading her to a corner booth, complete with red, shiny vinyl seats and chrome table edges, he gestured in a gentlemanly fashion, “ladies choice. Left or right?”

Choosing left so her back was to the wall, she slid in, involuntary smile floating up at the memory of 5-year old Dana and her family eating out on the rare occasion her father deemed them rich enough to afford a restaurant dinner for his family of six.

Mulder caught the memory skirting across her face and tapped her hand, “hey, dime for the thought behind the smile.”

Settling into the cool backrest, the material creaking slightly under her movement, “once in a blue moon, dad would be home and he’d look at the family checkbook and doing all kinds of math in his head and dramatically scribbling for effect on the corners of several old newspapers, he would decide that the bank account could handle taking six people out to the local diner in town for dinner. Now, today I understand that he would have taken us regardless but all his showy dramatics back then made us appreciate our night out more than probably most kids did. We didn’t see him as much as most families so a night out was special enough but then when we’d see just how special it was and we thought it was costing him a small fortune, we made sure not to fight, we were extra polite, we talked and tried to one up dad with stories of how tragically exciting our elementary school lives really were in comparison to his boring existence on a Navy carrier.” Thanking the waitress for the water she’d just set down, Scully pulled the glass towards her, spinning the ice with her straw before looking back at him, “there was a diner like this in town, blue and green instead of red but I swear to you, that waitress over there is the same and I desperately want to ask if she lived in San Diego in the 70’s.”

Mulder, glancing over his shoulder, returned to her gaze a moment later, smiling as well, “I double dog dare you.”

Scully felt some of the angst of the case draining away, “no, I’m good for now with the wondering and the suspecting, proving isn’t necessary to existence at the moment.”

“Fine. Take away my fun.” Opening the menu, “what are we eating? Want to share a shake? Pretend we’re 13 and on our first date?”

With an eye-roll, she poked his leg under the table with the rounded toe of her boot, “I don’t share ice cream well, Mulder. I’m greedy and terrible and need to selfishly have it all to myself. I will, however, give you the cherry from the top in compensation for the denied double-dog dare.”

Tapping the side of her calf back in response, “fair enough.”

&&&&&&&&

Burger and meatloaf consumed, shakes slurped and cherry surrendered, Mulder sat back, “what’s next, G-woman. We don’t leave until tomorrow morning.”

“Well, you’d mentioned gallons of liquor and I’m still pretty okay with that idea.”

Figuring there had to be some kind of liquor store around the town that time forgot, he signaled the bill, stood to leave and held out his hand, “come on. Inebriation awaits.” Dropping a sizeable tip, he then charged the meal to the Bureau and led her out with his now standard hand on her back, guiding her forward simply because it always felt like the natural thing to do.

He chose to turn left randomly and before reaching three storefronts down, Mulder pulled her to a stop by the back of her shirt, halting their beeline to liquor and forgetting. Looking over her shoulder, “what?”

Mulder, eagle-eye that he could be, was pointing to a flyer in the window of the Post Office, “we should go see that.”

Following his finger, she read the sign, “you want to go to Home Elementary School’s production of,” squinting slightly to make sure she was reading it properly, “Wizard of OZ?”

“Yeah. We need some culture, Scully. We never do anything cultural, worldly, sophisticated.”

The eyebrow flew miles into the air, “elementary school plays are cultural, worldly and sophisticated?”

“We just lost, into the general population, an entire incestuous family who keep their mother in a trunk. We need this more than we need the entire contents of a liquor store, trust me.”

Realizing he was completely right, “let’s go.”

&&&&&&&&&

The folding chairs wiggling in haphazard rows across the cafeteria floor transported her back to an age where folding chairs were meant to wiggle in haphazard rows across the cafeteria floor. She grinned as she bought her $3 ticket and nearly giggled at the flying monkey who took it at the door, the small boy poking his friend and whispering, “go show them two seats and they’re tall so put them in the back.”

The friend whispered back, “shut up, Tim, I know what to do.”

“Go!”

In an 8-year old huff, the friend led them to two seats in the back row, handing them copy paper programs before walking away. Scully leaned up to Mulder, talking low into his shoulder, “they think I’m tall.”

“They’re delusional kids huffing glue. You’re the shortest thing in adult world and they’ll be bigger than you by sixth grade.” Dropping into a chair and patting the one beside it, “now, sit before they call the giant squad to come take you away.”

Smacking him hard on the upper arm, she settled in, “you are enjoying this too much already.”

“If I had popcorn, I’d be in heaven.”

While he lamented his missing snack, around them parents and kids, grandparents, friends, assorted other relatives filled the seats for the next 15 minutes, the room soon darkened and the play beginning.

&&&&&&&&&

An hour later, they had witnessed four stage-frightened kids, one tremendously loud and surprisingly on-key Dorothy, two fighting trees who threw their apples at each other instead of the main characters, several set mishaps including the curtain falling to reveal the wizard before the wizard was to be revealed, a crier, two trippers and a nervous nose-picking palace guard who then screamed when he realized his nose was bleeding from the aforementioned furious gold-digging.

Once Dorothy finally got back to Oz and all was set right with the world, the lights went down, another kid wailed at the sudden darkness, then, the stage lit up again, a straggling line of kids awaiting applause in the middle of the floor and visibly fearful it wouldn’t come.

They didn’t have to worry … because Mulder was there and he was so damn happy with what he’d just experienced that he jumped from his seat, clapping as loud as his cupped hands could achieve, his yelling praises and congratulations and hooting driving the rest of the hesitating audience up and standing, first looking at Mulder and each other to see if this was proper etiquette then realizing their kids needed hooting and yelling.

Scully buried four fingers in her mouth, letting out a wolf whistle that echoed throughout the cinderblock room. More whistled joined and it took nearly four minutes for the room to quiet again to a manageable level. Kids cheered, bowing and giggling, coming out to the audience to find their families while Mulder and Scully stood quietly alone, grinning at the best night they’d had in a very long time.

The ticket taking flying monkey turned from his parents in the row ahead of them, “hey, which kid do you belong to?”

Mulder gave him an appraising look, wondering fleetingly what it would be like to be owned by a kid, “none, actually. We were just passing through and decided to take in a show.”

The kid nodded, then looked up at Scully, “sorry I didn’t realize you were that short. I would’ve had Tim put you closer up.”

Scully smiled at him, “I saw the whole thing and it was wonderful. Thank you for doing such a good job.”

Something twinged in Mulder’s chest as he watched her speak to the younger boy. He wanted to see her with her kids, watch her raise them in Scully fashion, science quizzes at the dinner table and midnight slime concocting at the kitchen counter because she had to prove Mulder wrong about the consistency and use of Borax in solution.

He would revisit the fact that he was at these midnight sessions and dinner table tests another time but for now, he took her elbow as the kid turned back to his parents, “come on, shorty, time to go.”

Instead of moving, Scully put her hand on his shoulder and climbed onto the folding chair, making her taller than him by several inches. Standing in front of her now and grinning up like a love-struck fool, she grabbed his tie, fiddling with it for a moment, “not so short now, am I?”

“Nope. Not at all.”

Returning his grin, she wrapped her arms around his neck, hugging him tightly, crowds be damned, “thank you for the culture, Mulder.”

Arms around her waist, he held her steady and safe high up in the air, “thank you for the world, Scully.”
