I guess we're off to Ray's...

But I really wish Beef would come clean about what happened the other night. He still hasn't mentioned it, and I feel like if I bring it up he's going to go off the handle again. It's going to be kind of an awkward party, hopefully Téodor will be there and I can hang out with him most of the time. Beef can drink himself silly and maybe then he'll feel like talking. He usually gets pretty chatty and emotional when he's on his way down.
 
Also, I heard him in Gramma K's room with the door shut, and he was speaking kind of sternly to her. I couldn't really make out what he was saying, and I left before he could see that I'd been trying to eavesdrop.
