Tonight I was at a fundraiser thing and an old friend said, “How was your summer?”

And I said, “Good,” before thinking about it and then after a while I was like, “Except my brother got cancer; I became the reluctant CEO of two companies; my books were banned from hundreds of schools around the country; I ruptured a disc in my back; and I couldn’t get any writing done.”

But the thing is it was kind of a good summer. Got to see a lot of Hank and my kids. Made some good memories. Broke bread with people I love.

Anyway, how was your summer? Good, I hope. Or at least multitudinous.

#in the article it says that the sailboat sailors were concerned because they could not be towed quickly because of the kind of boat#so they asked Götheborg what type of ship they were and warned that they would not be able to go above a certain speed#and götheborg went ’ we are also a sailboat. 50 meters length. no worries :) ’#and the poor sailboat sailors were just like ’ That’s not possible. they have to be messing with us’ and then the ship Rolled Up (via bunjywunjy)
