The customer service guy at the Kia dealership just came back to tell me about some recalled part or another they can fix while we’re here.

He asked if I could stay a little longer, and then he said “I see you’ve got your work here with you.” For some reason (dumb nervous reflex) I then told him, “It’s a grant proposal.”

A GRANT PROPOSAL. Why would I say that?

I guess because “I’m writing Sherlock Holmes gay pornography” just doesn’t exactly roll off the tongue…

Though a lot of things are rollling off tongues in this chapter. *wink nudge*

A grant proposal sounds like an excellent excuse. “Granted, I didn’t think things would turn out this way, but shall we do the do?”
