It reminds me of this one time I took a bus into the wrong town, and couldn't find a bus back out, and actually walked myself through the steps of creating a life there. I'm happy you're free and didn't have to resort to spitting on your leg. (You know, for lubing purposes.) What a horrifying situation. It reminds me of this one time I took a bus into the wrong town, and couldn’t find a bus back out, and actually walked myself through the steps of creating a life there.

I’m happy you’re free and didn’t have to resort to spitting on your leg. (You know, for lubing purposes.)

And again, I was there seeing it all through your writing. How did you create such a funny story while also telling us about your imagined and real losses? Thank you for opening up all of this and making me laugh...and pause. As was already mentioned, you are quite wonderful! Ann,

Luckily my leg wasn't broken! Seems unbelievably mean to do to animals. Anyway, after I talked myself down, er, up, much as you did here, I was able to pull myself out and limp back to the ranch where I was living. Legs should come with a warranty. Anyway, came by to congratulate you on making Michael Selzner's short list! Congrats!
