fascinating, latham!

i think i remember you mentioning you trekking birthday greetings to your daughter, but had no idea it was 'fraught' [as in physically]... and perhaps emotionally as everything seems taut these Covid-Days-And-Nights.

heavy and interesting story in the story w/regard to your friend.

as a single [hetero? is that the word today?] woman with few real friends, and fewer of them male—i think a 'friendship' is developing over time and distance—and i found myself oddly grateful for the opportunity to learn about friendships in general.

these days, in particular, have made all of us more discerning with our time and energy and relationships demand both so it's wise to choose wisely.

on the other hand, if you play your iguanas close to your chest to avoid an opportunity for a relationship, or friendship to go deeper—well, that would suck big time over time.

just my two pennies.

and bravo for guesting, dreaming, and sharing, latham!
