Ew. Well, that explains Dora. He didn't have much of a relationship with her: she also made the mistake of telling a joke he didn't think was funny or chatting about something he didn't think was very interesting. Marcus Bragged to Cypress and also to Spider Jerusalem, and I was holding my breath, because Marcus is one of my favorite grandbabies. But he came right back in there with Admire and a joke or two and the chatting worked out nicely. I think the conversation went like this:
Marcus: Hello, local superhero there, family business, actually. I don't like to brag, but. . .
Spider Jerusalem: THEN DON'T.
Marcus: Ooops. I'm sorry.
Spider Jerusalem: Hey, you're Roman, aren't you? I really like Roman architecture.
Marcus: Why, than--
Spider Jerusalem: Plus, you just really pissed off my Dad, which makes you ok as far as I'm concerned.
Marcus: --thank you, I think.
Spider Jerusalem: Hey! Does your partner have a cooking show?
Marcus: Goodies with Greg? Yeah, he does. I'm really proud of him. I didn't know you watched cooking shows.
Spider Jerusalem: Love 'em, right after *Project Runway.*
Marcus: Are you busy Friday? New in town? We give little casual dinners, just a tasty little selection of meze whipped up by Greg and some ouzo to keep things interesting.
Marcus has seven nice points and he's Pop, so he really likes it for people all to get along. I still don't have a self-run restaurant, and I'm tempted to let Greg and Marcus try.
Those gentlemen certainly are doing something. That's the Shuffle Off Wedding Palazzo, by the way, and I need something for them to do.
