Mile 73

The moral of the story is: Do not put your Ikea duvet cover in the dryer with any other items. I'm not going to tell you the Story. Just the Moral: Do not put your Ikea duvet cover in the dryer with any other items. You are just going to have to trust me on this....

It would be much easier and probably advisable to keep my embarrassing stories to myself. It's only a matter of time before someone offers me an unbelievable opportunity: Like a full scholarship to art school, or a fabulous job, or a position as Colin Meloy's personal roadie. Or a pony.
