Note To Someone Else

{As a habitual and obsessive list maker, it's a small validation to find the lists of others. These windows into the neuroses and problems of strangers, not having a job or health care for instance, can make a body feel good about its own troubles. It also reminds me that my sofa smells too much like my dog, both of which are overdue for washing. Helpful garbage. Credit to Amy for spotting this one, fading on the summer sidewalks of Belmont Street.}
