Maga always talks to me while someone else sits within earshot, but I’m unaccustomed to doing the same. This time it due to a trivia game (3rd place finish) and heavy traffic that forced me to call Maga while I was within earshot of the Lyft driver, but, I had to call before we both turned to pumpkins.
We spoke about desserts and travel and family members and the late hour and other family members and Thanksgiving dinner and visitors and it being Tuesday evening. I felt self-conscious of every word, but Maga seemed grateful for each one, so the uncomfortableness on my end was well worth it.
‘Tis the season to spread joy wherever and whenever and however we can.
