Fun weekend with lunch at #mahaniyomboston to celebrate how long Joe and I have been bothering each other since that fatefully shared basket o' corn at the Sil 17 years ago 🍿. Also discovered the best Rye for a Manhattan during Aaron's double-blind taste test party (more Manhattans, please!). 🍒

The annual #BigDandTheKidsTable #Halloween show is the cherry on top of seasonal spookiness -- I love that band so much. I dressed up as a grumpy 41-year-old 🫠.

Delightful night with beloved, heavily missed, old buds in town to see #Belly at Paradise -- night with Kurt, morning of hurt indeed 🥴. Ended the evening at #BarLunette, which I am now in love with -- none of you go, I want to always be able to get a seat. 🖤

The best, most fucked up, most interesting art is happening in horror. I finished this book a week ago and can't get the ending (the grief!) out of my head.

An incredible (!) journey to bring back coffee from Yemen. Someone send me Port of Mokha beans immediately. ☕
Thanks, jury duty, for giving me a day of waiting and reading. Should've brought my backup book. 🤪

They can hunt and pounce and kill
But they're small and light and probably
Delicious
So they take some things very very seriously
I was a little girl when he said this
But when I became a woman in this world
I understood what he meant.

#BlueberryCoveHalfMarathon is wildly charming, midcoast #Maine vibes. Impressed myself that I managed a 9:42 pace- hills 🥵! And there's a chowder dinner before & a blueberry brunch at the finish! The Half turns at the #lighthouse, so glad we had a chance to be casual there yesterday - awfully nice 🖤

Life Jacket No. 17, reporting for duty!
Just came back from an incredible #TourWest #WhiteWaterRafting trip on the #SalmonRiver in #Idaho. Man, how is a place this incredible possible? So many bald eagles! The Tour West folks are stellar and the trip was a dream -- highly recommend. 🖤

You’re not bad.
You’re a tiny, furious poet
in a body that’s still learning
how to carry all that thunder.
That’s brave work.
That’s art.

Celebrating 7 legal yrs together (& nearly 17 actual yrs?!) by doing my favorite thing: eating snacks. Joe also made Brass Monkeys (awful) (but also the great untold story of WWII?!) bc brass is kind of copper? An awesome time, as always. 🖤

Potted Mr. Avocado so he can spread his roots and give us avocados in 12 or so years 🥴. Also threw a bunch of money at Mahoney's so our balcony could look pretty and give us food too! 🪻🍅🪻🍅
