Can’t, Wouldn’t, Shouldn’t
My phone does not like negatives. I’ve been rereading old blogposts today and realizing how quickly they turned into nonsense because the phone auto completed with a positive and I sent without proofreading to make sure all the “n’t”s were where they needed to be.

My Valentine 26
Stephanie let me sleep today. I have only been awake for three hours and it’s already time to blog. Not much has happened yet. I didn’t get her a Valentine’s Day present. Perhaps I should do better.

Machzu
When I was five or six our family had a dog. I don’t remember the dog’s actual name. I remember my mom yelling “Machzu” at it. I was vaguely aware that it was supposed to be German. I am convinced that she was butchering “Mach deinen mund zu” which translates as “Shut up.” the dog’s…
