Bane-field

Dr. Jen Schori, July 6, 2010

Another mailing arrived today. Such a lovely brochure: neatly laid out, pleasing to the eye, the pictures of happy people. I gaze at it wistfully. No, it is not a vacation brochure.

4-Legged Heroes

Dr. Jen Schori, May 17, 2010

As time has moved on, however, I have noticed an insidious change in this system of address.
