  When Adriana went to give her a complimentary breakfast in the morning, Lily asked her to stay and have breakfast with her. She was charming, confident, and as close to a perfect human being as Adriana could imagine. When she learned Adriana had a science background, she offered to introduce her to remote working and even put her in touch with some of her clients. 
  Thus began a beautiful friendship and Adriana really hoped Lily would consider staying with them for longer than the three months she originally came for, but their relationship took a weird turn one night. Adriana joined Lily for dinner as was becoming the norm and after the meal, Lily offered to open one of her newly acquired wine bottles. It was the weekend so Adriana didn't mind and they soon got cozy and slightly drunk. That's when Adriana asked Lily something she was thinking about for some time now. 
  “Lily, I might be stepping out of line for asking this but how does this lifestyle affect your love life? Don’t you have a serious boyfriend or something?” 
  Lily sighed before answering “No. I never found the right person…” there was something broken and bitter in her voice, then she resumed to her cheery-self “Maybe that’s why I am wandering from town to town, looking for the right person.”

  Cartoonist Ricardo Caté describes Indian humor as the result of “us living in a dominant culture, and the funny part is that we so often fall short of fitting in.” His cartoon column, Without Reservations, is a popular daily dose in the Santa Fe New Mexican. Actor Wes Studi says, “Caté’s cartoons serve to remind us there is always a different point of view, or laughing at every day scenes of home life where Indian kids act just like their brethren of different races. Without Reservations is always  thought-provoking whether it makes you laugh, smirk, or just enjoy the diversity of thought to be found in Indian Country.”

In the end, the former Ambassador passes out in a snowbank while the Cheney Administration kicks into high gear. Predictablistically, the new presidential syntax isn't the only thing that's tortured and strange.  
   
  Take myvulture.com, an Internet company born and born-again, worth $1 million or $500, depending on whether you ask the CEO or his mother; or look at Joanie Caucus as the turnover in Washington casts her career into play, if not into midlife crisis; or consider J.J. and Zeke, whose pay-per-view, online wedding yields mucho buzz but zero bucks—just like the rest of the Net. Yes, it's a Dubya Dubya Dubya world. Doonesbury just downloads it.

Well, there could be aliens.)Oliver finally feels like he’s starting to figure things out … but can he stay out of the principal’s office, or catch a break from his annoying sister? With laugh-outloud humor, Oliver’s Great Big Universe follows an eleven-year-old who’s taking on the whole universe—if he can survive middle school first.
