Very happy to have finished the delightful train book I've been translating for the past 5 mths, just in time for my Christmas deadline :-) @QuercusBooks Loved the research rabbit holes and looking forward to ticking lots of new trips off my bucket list! #xl8

As I contemplate scattering my parents’ ashes this weekend, this post really struck a chord. Thank you 💕
I finally wrote about the year of emotional ambushes that followed my Dad's death, and the question of what to do with his ashes. This post contains neither Mets nor Wookiees (sorry) but I'd be honored if you read it nonetheless.
