SuSu sends a surprise

She sent me a book that I can’t put down and so now I am not sleeping – it’s called Tiny Ladies in Shiny Pants by Jill Soloway and it is hysterical – first of all the card she sent was great – it said “When our story is told, and it will be told in song and fable and interpretive dance and puppet show, people will weep with joy, and through sobs, say, “Today…

He suggested I sleep with K – take one…
