The Thing Is….
As I got settled a little late at Emissary Pergamino for the fourth “Office Hours” here on 20th Street NW between R and S Streets NW, I saw that Ginger Gaines-Cirelli—officiant at my marriage to Lynn on May 3, 2008—had posted this:

when you have no stomach for it
and everything you've held dear
crumbles like burnt…
