Beautifully rhythmic, like good music. :)

I do my share of peeing in the woods. It makes me feel like... a baby fox! Not really. Just like a human that drinks a lot of water and loves to be in the woods. Congrats on being a Thurber Prize semi-finalist! Thrilling!

Embarrassing the teens is super fun. We recommend using lots of '80's slang. Related: apparently using "cringe" is cringe.

You have me at the title! When my kids were little their favorite thing about going up to the country to their grandparents was peeing outside. I can’t wait for the post saying that your draft is done. PS congrats on the Thurber news! Rooting for you Jane!

Brilliant, as always. Made me wistful for my own personal retreat days. Think I'll work on that... <3

Jane: I really needed a good laugh.

I miss Massachsetts and the photos made me long for that New England fall. I was in LA for a month. What a horror show! Beautiful West LA, with condos over one million USD is covered with tenis, closed shops and entire shopping Mall empty. The stores that are open have you call them to open the door.

Plenty of homeless people are not only peeing on the streets....

I hope Massachusetts is doing better.

Now back to Vietnam. All is good. Already voted and holding my breath....

Hoping g for a BLUE WAVE

Congratulations!!

Keep doingcwhat you do so well !!

😍😍😍

Sorry. I failed to see the typos. Tentatively, not tenis. Keep writing.💗
