I’m at the tire store yesterday, trying not to inhale too much so’s I won’t get a headache from the ferocious rubber outgassing, and I realize as I hand over my keys that . . . I have forgotten to bring a book to read, or anything to knit on, or anything. Except Blue, who […]
Went to see The Cody Rivers Show with some granny friends the other night. I was totally ignorant of this Bellingham-originated show, which contains no one named Cody Rivers, and had no idea what to expect.
