Aphrodite Macbain: we sat outside and ate pasta and pizza listening to some bad Italian singing
Bruce Mowbray: Oh my! Those canals will be rising for sure!
Korel Laloix: You refer to your sister in law as pleasant? What does that actually mean Bruce?
Aphrodite Macbain: :-)
Bruce Mowbray: It means that she called me and was pleasant on the phone, what else?
Korel Laloix: In my area, pleasant is one of those words that means the opposite.
Bruce Mowbray: If you want me to claim it so you guys can be free to enjoy the rain, just let me know, Aph.

Aphrodite Macbain: np Bruce-this is your birthday!
