while my daddy fixes the sneaker that is spankin’ new, but was brought home a bit beat up already, i sit here just because i always write right before i go anywhere.  two pieces of luggage sit in the hall filled to the brim with fleece sleeping bags that roll up real tiny (but aren’t… Continue reading later
