  • Trip, Trip

    Namaste Was on my way out… Called my usual taxi driver and he answered saying he was in the hospital due to a lung infection. Curious. This is a guy who is proud of his e-cigars. Did he get the infection from one, or did he get the infection from whatever he was weaning himself…

    Namaste Motherhood was trusted upon me somewhere between ages 9-10. We had a tenant who rented the bottom flat who was also one of my mother’s workmates. She had recently gotten a baby and due to some complications (non-physical) my sisters and I played babysitters. The baby had been circumcised and was still healing and…
