I still miss the Strawberry Festival. I think about it almost every time I buy a box of strawberries, which strangely, come to Rochester from very near Garden Grove!

I understand how moving junk around across many bags may sound romantic, but actually I just am constantly missing stuff I wish I had… I forgot to bring my shoes to the gym the other day and had to do my exercise class in socks, which was not comfortable… I left them in the wrong bag. Steve bought me a weird case to hold all of my stuff recently so I could just transfer that between bags… but now i have a weird bag within a bag which bothers the part of me that wants everything in the world to be concise, efficient, and purposeful.

I wish instead of having to tote a bag around with me I could just be a sort of weird cartoon version of a turtle and have everything I might need in the world on my person in a shell… I wish that it was socially acceptable to wear those vests with pockets all over them in public.

You are setting your own bar really high with your stories and your story telling Mike. Just thought you should know!

This story had it all, personal elements, intrigue, a touch of seedy danger and coffee. I can’t wait to hear whats next!

I’ve often wanted to be admired from afar… mainly because most people are sketchy.

Thanks for the shoutout, by the way! (Confession: I can’t take credit/blame for that email address. It’s a saying I lifted from my friend Kristi.)

You mentioned the CL ad in your blog last year. I’ve been waiting to hear how that story ended. Thanks.

If your goal in life is to be portrayed in a movie, I think you need to reassess on what you value in life. Find your passion and excel at it. A biopic is just a perk, look at Temple Grandin.

Your episode reminded me of something David Sedaris might write. Now I feel like I’m ahead of the curve, since I’ve been reading your blog for a few years. (You might make something of yourself yet.)
