Ok, got that over with & it wasn't so bad. Sadly, not everybody can say that. My two friends, "The A's," are having an unspeakably harsh toke right now. Ali has started a blog as a way to externalize the bitter tears of Ali Liebegott, and being the excellent brutal realist writer that she is, I feel this will be an extremely helpful forum. Better out than in, I say.
Team Shredder is sending out lots of loving thoughts and energy to Anna Joy and Ali, for the long haul.
