That article from Blair Braverman is the best thing I think she's ever written. I'm amazed NYT ran it.
It's so beautiful and poignant, isn't it? I texted it to sarameg this morning because it immediately reminded me of her.
I said I'm sorry. I've made mistakes, but fear was never one of them.

Heat wave kind of getting me down, though Mom is out in it more than I. I wish I hadn't missed "Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist" when it was on, but I'm sorry that my stream is over, too.

Oh thank goodness it looks like the heat wave here is about to break: only in the 70s over the weekend.

Another workforce reduction. I still have a job but three of my sales people are gone. This sucks.
