Briebrie is almost exactly twice as big as Phaedra. Here they are both sleeping in the same sink.
It is about 2:00 AM. I just heard the first gun shot in my otherwise quiet neighborhood. This is very surreal. The last time I lived in an area where there were gun shots, they were from hunters tracking dear or other game. The time before that was when I lived in Durham. I rented…
