nicoleandmaggie (the Grumpies) have a new post, and one part of it resonated strongly with me. Below is the comment I left there. n&m: “I’ve started hitting chatty.

OK, timer’s on: 15 min to draft, and whatever comes out, comes out. Absurdist literary fiction piece published. It’s oh so delicious and weird.

A guy I went to high school and college with, and who’s also in the US, emailed me to tell me our highschool physics teacher (who was the best!) just died. It was weird to hear from the former classmate since we’re not really in touch, but I suppose I am easily googlable, and so
