Jon Lasser, an amazing writer and dear friend, passed yesterday. I’m so glad I was able to spend time with him last month and tell him how much he meant to me while he was still here.
Which is to say don’t wait to tell your friends how wonderful they are. And big hugs to everyone mourning rn.

Yesterday’s flea market adventure landed me a new friend. His name is Walter. Walter is currently masquerading as a mid-century, West German alarm clock. Walter also enjoys sleeping in and lazy, late summer afternoons.
I love Walter.
