I tear up getting the amazing fuse bead art my 6 year old makes for me. I know I will not be emotionally prepared for poetry.

Congrats on your almost pub day!!

Best Arthur picking up dry cleaning this year:

When he picked up the Oceanus yellow dress and two separate women told him “that’s an amazing dress”

I also had an unfortunate encounter with the same stretch of highway 1 many years ago - our residency retreat was held right around there and let’s just say that a twisty road back into SF the morning after lots of team bonding did NOT go over well haha. Congratulations on your book publication!!

Thank you Meredith! That stretch of highway is beautiful if humbling.

Happiness = seeing Hazel Says No listed with some of my favorites of the year. (And lucky for me, I haven’t yet read Tokyo Suite.)
