I will write an essay about my porch experience and share it with you… As ever, your writing has that quality that “takes you there.” 🍾

Lovely writing, as usual, Melissa. You suddenly awaken my cravings for a cool mint julep. I would love to enjoy a stay in Savannah! You made it so appealing... With all due respect for dog owners, and I have been one, these mascots are not for living in close quarters but in open spaces, where they can run free with other doggies. Those episodes of barking, whining, and drooling you funnily described, what could I say? It should be regulated by law! However, since cats and dogs are the present substitutes for children in countries with low birth rates, that's impossible.

Thanks. Javier. But Portland's porches were the best!

All the porches are fine with a typewriter and some joints and refreshing drinks, precisely the ideal complements I left behind for keeping better health. What can I do?
