Cooking. It’s too much work, the food is all gone in minutes, and cleaning up is a pain in the butt. But I keep doing it anyway.

Public mailboxes. If there's ever a day when physical mail becomes obsolete, we should keep (and upkeep) every public mailbox as a civic beautification sculpture.

My Marine dad, who lives in a VA nursing home and has dementia. I get antsy after a few days of not seeing him. We have a lot of fun together; our family dysfunction doesn’t even come up anymore. It’s just about us, spending time together ♥️

Being part of a magazine staff or just reading them, or everything about them?

Reading them. Writing for them. Their weird personified world view. Their expense accounts (in the day.) The smell of the fresh pages. Their mechanical workings: fob, feature well, cover lines. And yet, they were/are intentionally ephemeral, frequently unserious…

My relationship with my dog. Our understanding of each other has developed over time based on experiences beyond human language. It’s complicated and I love/tire of the experience of being symbiotic.
