In the hope that saying it aloud will make it true, may 2025 be kinder to us all.

So much tender joy and heart rending in this epic adventure from Wisconsin to Montreal to Vermont, back to Montreal and Vermont again. I'm so sorry you went through all that. Thank you for sharing it with us and hope your new year is full of more gifts you and Dustin get to keep, good health, many words written and heard, and peace. <3

What an adventure. Do you mean to say that you drove back and forth 14 hours at a time over the border to return that rental car? It’s a small miracle they didn’t take your laptop—which is to say the novel was protected by divine powers. I’m so sorry all this happened. Thieves and their “shortcut solutions” are…tragic.

Yes we did. It was maniacal. And I will take that divine protection idea, thank you!
