Do you use a thesaurus when writing? I was wondering because I seem in constant need of one, or maybe I just don’t know enough words?

Sometimes, to prod my brain. And I used to read Roget's Thesaurus for pleasure. Thesauruses are dangerous, in that they give you lists of words and it's up to you to know the differences between the words and what they mean exactly. A big word that doesn't mean what the person who put it down thinks it means is often evidence of a synonym finder or thesaurus taking them to misleading places.

Transportation to that night’s Vegas Golden Knights game comes in the form of the Las Vegas Monorail, and some of our heroes think of a classic episode of The Simpsons...

Charlotte takes Bryan and Jon to Meow Wolf’s Omega Mart, and Jon does a Facebook live as he enters a portal into another world. A lot of expletives ensue.

In the evening, Charlotte sees if she inherited her grandfather’s skill at blackjack. Interestingly, this comes on the Eve of the tenth anniversary of her grandma’s death.

Landing in Las Vegas, Charlotte and Bryan keenly, if only jokingly, keep an eye out for Godzilla.

A very bewildered Sean texts Charlotte to see where she is. She responds with a photo of Denver’s skyline as she was coming in for a landing.

At exactly midnight on Sunday, April 17, Bryan opens a Coca-Cola and takes his first sip of soda since March 1. At the same time, Charlotte plays a song featuring a word that was forbidden, at least from worship spaces, during that time.

Being Good Friday, Bryan attends Mass. he does not have any difficulties at a French language service. The bigger difficulty is finding a sushi or seafood restaurant that isn’t packed. He and Charlotte end up going to an Italian restaurant, and he orders a vegetarian pasta.
