2 things of note

1 - I just read this article and found it quite descriptive of life here. It is quite sad but I think it does a good job of painting a picture of some of the struggles people go through.

2 - This morning I made a big stack of chocolate pancakes and ate them, along with a chocolate slim fast shake. I pictured myself sitting at the Nautilus Diner in Timonium with my father. The only thing missing was the small jukebox on the table. It was lovely.

love,
