But I understand. You gave up everything you had to find me. And you found me broken. It's hard for you.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

OMG, what are drupes? I've been calling it stone fruit, but via pulledoutofmyass.com.

It is! [Drupes that I'm allergic to, I mean.] So awesome! I kept wondering if I was just paranoid when I thought I was getting the (slight!) reaction from almonds or whatever.

Steph, please to not get ax-murdered. At least not by people we don't even know. That's what the internets are for!

For those following along at home, the Post Office's official answer to my question is "no way to tell."

So I made minion go back downstairs and retreive the six hundred envelopes thus misaddressed. He in turn made his minions (summer interns) print out six hundred "Canada" stickers and affix them to the envelopes.

I know of 5 murders in a 2 mile radius since I moved here. One was a store robbery, one a drug thang, and three were family-related (little kids killed. It's at trial now. It was really horrific.) OK, now no one will ever visit again.

I get all the avocados from Mozambique, okay? Which I will sprinkle with sea salt and eat with a spoon and a portuguese roll. Best.dinner.ever.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

the Post Office's official answer to my question is "no way to tell."

I was totally going to say that.

Two miles is far enough here that I wouldn't even track things that far away as being in my neighborhood.

There was a horrible murder right outside my building last year. I'd taken off and gone to Milwaukee for the night, and found the neighborhood all abuzz when I got back at six the next morning.

But mostly my 'hood is okay, except for the dog-napping. Which actually, I haven't heard anything about in a year or so, so maybe those fuckers went away or got busted.

Yeah, well this is a driving city. Park Heights (where the kids were murdered) is technically another neighborhood, but one I drive through frequently.

I was half watching a thing on Marilyn Monroe and they had an interview with, I think, Steinem and then Hefner. WHIPLASH.
