Is...is there a male U.S. skier named "Hot Lickety"??

Well, there's a Ted Ligety who won a gold medal. But I kind of like your version better.

Ah. Mystery solved! That makes sense, I guess, but I can't say I'm not disappointed. I wanted to believe!

The more I think about it, the more it sounds like something a grizzled old prospector would say, possibly while doing a merry jig: "Hot lickety, I struck oil!" :)

I am sorry to hear you're sick...sending JC & Chris over with chicken soup & my "Pride & Prejudice" box set. (The Colin Firth one, not the Keira Knightley disaster)

I'm not really sick - it's just this stupid ear! Damn thing just up and decided to close for business; the whole right side of my head feels like it's underwater. Grr...

I hope you know this Regency schtick of yours is KILLING ME. Wrong Jane Austen novel, but I feel like my life will never again be truly my own 'til after I've read about Chris going full Willoughby and asking for a lock of JC's hair, and JC lowering his eyes, smiling demurely, unfastening his bonnet with pale, slender fingers and resolutely NOT thinking about the scandalized look on his mama's face should she ever find out, and - gah! BEGONE, SPIRIT! TEMPT ME NO FURTHER!

...nah, I'm just kidding; you can tempt me all you like. You know I love it. :)

And Lance is Eleanor, hiding the fact that his true love Brian has been secretly engaged these five years to Nick Carter!

YES.

"I received a letter from Mr. Carter - or Mrs. Richardson, I should say - communicating the transfer of his affections to my cousin Kevin. It seems they were much thrown together in London..."
