En Route
So, when we got on the plane in Newark, the baggage guy took our suitcases and said “Mexico City, Ms. Diaz?” and I laughed because he was holding our boarding passes, so I thought he was kidding — also because … Continue reading
Six Pomegranate Seeds
It’s odd to see ads for new movies, and know that we’ll be buying them as cheap DVDs in China. It’s even weirder to think of all the other things I’ll miss. I’m sad that I’ll be emailing congratulations for … Continue reading
