Like Crabs in a Bucket

Dearest Rachel – There’s not much to tell you about today (although at this hour of the morning, would you expect there to be?), aside from what for me was a fairly unusual dream, in that I had no part in it, save as an observer of what might as well have been a theatricalContinue reading “Like Crabs in a Bucket”
