This is a true set of actions.

ATLANTA, Georgia, September 25, 2008 This is a true set of actions. Target. Last week. Decide not to buy $10 bottle of Advil. I can get by without. Today: 6am hits, the cramps. The cold.

Last Missive From A D.C. Girl

COLUMBIA HEIGHTS, Washington, D.C., August 2, 2007 My boss called me over, notebook in hand. “I’m letting you go.” The words flipped my horizons, took assumptions and plans and expectations, and erased them.
