Look at me and tell me who I am, why I am, what I am...

The whole thing had actually been Sharon's idea. Cally wasn't invited, of course, but otherwise all the wives (meaning Sharon, Kara, and Dee) were going to get together and talk over at Joe's. She'd made sure that there would be no men there when they gathered and she'd kissed Hera goodnight before leaving her with Helo.

"Sorry, Karl," she told him, which meant it was pretty serious business since she hardly ever referred to him by his real name, "but so far it's been nothing but work and no play for us girls. Or haven't you ever noticed we never get to just hang out and talk like you men do?" A quick kiss on Helo's cheek, and Sharon was off to Joe's, waiting to see Kara and Dee.

If the men got to talk about flying or fighting or frakking, why couldn't the women? After all, everyone knew they talked about it far more than the men anyway.
