That’s all from me — Chris B.
Donating the jeans should feel like a victory, yet the missing pizza slices keep peeking through every green thing. I hope 200 comes gently, Chris, with room for one glorious New York slice too, because a goal shouldn’t have to eat every joy on the way there.
New here. Huge fan of INXS. I “heard” the beat from “Mediate” as I hit the third or fourth line. A most enjoyable experience!
