new plan: PBR and box wine. We will save $$$. I am in a conservation mode, and it suits me. I don't want to work more right now. I also want to say that "prodigal" means "abundant", even "lavish". for years i thought the word had to do with the son's return, not with the celebration that accompanied it. i missed the whole point! i learned this from B Kingsolver. i love her. there is no need to write b/c she is the BEST.
