I’m home. My lower back felt hot, like someone was holding an iron to it. So I’m about to ice it. It was a quiet train ride home on the un-air-conditioned J. The woman next to me moved her lips as she read her book. The guy with Downs Syndrome whom I always see on […]

After I picked up my butcher block kitchen cart out in West Portal on Sunday, I started home in the Jetta wagon, taking my time.
