Tonight a favorite person of mine carried a seven-foot present down second avenue for around a quarter of a mile. We wrapped it in lights and it's been glowing ever since... Christmas is closing in. It's my fifth Christmas back in the states. Last year I didn't have a tree, this year I am miraculously more cheerful. I smile much more than I was in September. I feel like 2016 was enough. On to the next one. I'm planning my next trip to Italy and...
Love to you all around the world! Welcome to another Thanksgiving post. Ever since one of my four sisters ripped our family apart after I came back from Australia, my U.S. holidays have morphed somewhat. I'm blessed to be with family, period. So I'm in Plymouth.

I felt myself coming down with a cold so I worked...
My weekend has been spent staying awake, carving pumpkins and weaving around midtown. I'm happy to have a friend around while I ride out the end of the most recent stint of terrible. I ate Thai food last night and laughed until I was lying on the ground in giggles. My friend put a pumpkin on his head to make me smile and carved out the face that I drew on another one. I love October in New England, it's special. Everything suddenly tastes like...
