I'm scared of the small stuff

Written July 23, 2018
Dear Friends,

Today Patrice asked me  — what was it? I’m not exactly sure the words — but we were talking about how my life has changed, and I said I don’t yet feel quite complete over here in this new skin. She said Why? or What?  What’s not complete? Well, for one thing, I want to be able to rent a car without shuddering. Then I thought, hey, I don’t even need a car while they replace Rosa’s hood. There’s Uber and Lyft. And yes, that’s true, but no, I’m not going to try the car-less experiment (tempting though it is). I want to do those normal things that Clark took care of; some are new and scary to me. But it’s OK. Patrick’s going to be there with me at Hertz.

Love,

k
