when we’re kids, we’re told to ask permission for everything. if you want to put on some fresh flowers, do that, turn on the candles as it darkens outside and turn on the music. i also love your 'clouds/lace/dots things'. as much as you live for today, do you think and have plans for the future? i remember thinking on page 34 that something was up with what was going on. (yes, this preceded murder, she wrote.) are you the one in the stripe hat? i teach 7th grade math to about 120 students, for about 90 minutes daily.
