Writing about cancer and how it effects relationships and all else isn't easy. Nice job making the story interesting.

I like that Lark is so lady-like and discreet when she has the need to relieve herself, not like a man or a bird who would simply let it fly anywhere. 😉 Interesting and fun chapter.

Sue’s misuse of sayings crack me up. We all know people who do that. As the crow flies, Lark’s use of the she-pee makes sense. 😂

Gail, I love that your impressions about Lark and Sue are your own, and not inconsistent with mine. Thank you for sharing them.

I like the introductory paragraph that segues into the dialog in the bar. It’s informative, descriptive, and succinct. It reminds me of Herman Melville’s description the Spouter Inn, except his introduction went on for pages and no mention of yoga shorts. I don’t think that would work today.
