I am so happily sort of writing right now, in preparation for returning once again to my memoir soon, soon, soon. Although I guess by one measure, I never left it. We just kind of got separated on the dance floor for a while, underneath the disco ball and the big thumping and all the pretty lights.

Thanks for the validation, the connection, the ongoing. I'm drinking from the LOVE cup today. No accidents.

I hope you're well! <3 tg
