> [@Ludovic](#): > > I wish I had an all-cashmere overcoat. On reflection, maybe if you’d asked for one made from just part of the cashmere goat instead of from all of it, your coat wouldn’t be quite so gory. I wish I had a magic wand that let me cast the spells I want to cast, when I want to cast them. ---

You fall into a deep, restful sleep that is only interrupted when the car you’re driving plunges off a very high bridge. I wish I knew how to design and build bridges. ---

Meant to add: **soulmurk** , your kids are now _very_ good at cleaning up after themselves. No matter what crimes or misdemeanors they commit, you’ll never be able to find a single piece of evidence to prove it - they don’t leave a trace behind. **runner pat** , you’re slated to arrive shortly, along with the rest of the Ameglian Major Cows in this week’s delivery. Me, I just wish I had more time for my hobbies.
