It’s been eons! How have you been? I hope you burbled, “really swell!” Do you have a husband and a baby? Such abundance! You are a dear person and it’s a pleasure to picture you with a fulfilling life. […]

I’d been quite ill for a year, so it was an unexpected gift to be out with friends. The night was feeling extra exciting. Abraxas and I checked out the merch table.
