Month: October 2009
Fall in Gothenburg
The last few days of rain and autumnal gloom have lulled my memories back to Göteborg. I haven’t paid it much mind over the last few years– I finished my MFA and didn’t really look back afterward. But here I am, back in Baltimore after a move back from Sweden, and two three 1500mi+ moves. …
Grateful
Notes like this remind me of how lucky I am to have friends like I do– a little bit of silliness to share a smile. Thank you, Jake, for being such a great friend all these years.
