I need to set the stage by giving the “layout” of my “house” so that you can get as close as possible to visualizing the following interaction. Even though… lets be honest… unless you have lived behind these walls… thankfully you won’t ever be able to genuinely grasp the reality of this environment. But we […]
Good Morning World. I say this because I come to you in the wee hours of Monday morning after a wonderfully hot… tremendously sweaty…. gloriously oppressed weekend of being locked down in the unit.
