The dynamic of interacting with people while getting pancakes, stopping in a bookstore, or buying a pack of smokes is captured here.

You let us inside your brain without the shame of those feelings a lot of us have. There is relief and camaraderie in the intimacy of your writing.

Well-done!

Loved the bit about smoking. I get it about quitting, and it is possible, but only if you want to. Took me forever, but after smoking 2-3 packs a day for 35+ years, I finally did and I couldn’t be happier!

I only wish I had found the strength to do it earlier… it’s amazing how much better I feel (and smell).

It’s the little pinholes in clothes that drive me most crazy.
