Fun read. Enjoyed being introduced to Auntie Poldi and her family.

Starting the weekend off with a little reading.

It was great, ok? It‘s Ali Hazelwood, and very little of hers hasn‘t been fantastic for me. #DannyBoy is, as always, my reading companion, and particularly velcro-ey since we got home from our trip a few days ago.

That thing you taught us!
What thing?
Misdirection.
I taught you that?
Yeah! You, or Siegfried, or Roy…

This whole thing, about Maya looking so much like her older brother reminds me of my brother‘s wedding. He‘s 8 years older, and everyone thinks I resemble my sister (5 years older) until they meet him. One of the bridesmaids, friend of his, was so excited to meet me and we had this 👆🏼 kind of exchange. It went kind of like “You look so much like John! But…you‘re pretty!” And then to save it, “It just means John would make a really pretty woman!”


“Each of us is afraid. It‘s there in the way we hold our cups. It‘s in the way we look about us, squinting into the misty nooks of the bar to see what‘s hidden…….Tonight we‘re not drinking to forget, but to remember and dream. It‘s hope that makes us afraid and I remind myself that a man should be grateful for his fears, because it means he has something to lose and to win.”
