Had a most excellent 12-hour-or-so pancake breakfast chez zzbottom and
missdimple, with fun new games, good conversation, a walk to the store to get supplies for dinner (don't all good pancake breakfasts grow to encompass dinner?), and the surprise appearance of somebody I went to college with and had no idea was even on this continent.
When I accede to the Imperial Throne of Earth, I want zzbottom to make pancakes for the coronation. (I'd have said I wanted him to cook pancakes at my wedding, but please, let's retain a shred of plausibility here. :-)
