Life Jacket No. 17, reporting for duty!
Just came back from an incredible #TourWest #WhiteWaterRafting trip on the #SalmonRiver in #Idaho. Man, how is a place this incredible possible? So many bald eagles! The Tour West folks are stellar and the trip was a dream -- highly recommend. 🖤

Before>during>after. And a #10K PR! Despite spotty rain, had an awesome time running around #WinslowPark in Freeport, ME, today - absolutely gorgeous (but rain 😭). Clocked in at 55:14!?!! And of course thx to Joe for being my moral support human and cheering me on!

You’re not bad.
You’re a tiny, furious poet
in a body that’s still learning
how to carry all that thunder.
That’s brave work.
That’s art.
That’s enough.
Celebrating 7 legal yrs together (& nearly 17 actual yrs?!) by doing my favorite thing: eating snacks. Joe also made Brass Monkeys (awful) (but also the great untold story of WWII?!) bc brass is kind of copper? An awesome time, as always. 🖤

Potted Mr. Avocado so he can spread his roots and give us avocados in 12 or so years 🥴. Also threw a bunch of money at Mahoney's so our balcony could look pretty and give us food too! 🪻🍅🪻🍅

You can, you should, and if you're brave enough to start, *you will.*
(I received this a bunch of years ago at an 826 Boston gala; been waiting for the right moment to crack it open.
