“Underworld. By day, I oversee my kingdom. I make sure the ghosts of the dead get their fair shake in the afterlife. But by night, I sit at my godly computer, typing away, trying to set the record straight on the Greek myths. I hardly have a minute to myself, but that doesn’t matter. I’m driven to bring the truth to light. It pains me, it really does, that generations of you mortals have read The Big Fat Book of Greek”

So Judge Thatcher and the widow had to quit on the business. That pleased the old man till he couldn’t rest. He said he’d cowhide me till I was black and blue if I didn’t raise some money for him. I borrowed three dollars from Judge Thatcher, and pap took it and got drunk, and went a-blowing around and cussing and whooping”
