The hard truths of runner’s toes
I notice my daughter looking at my toes. They’re particularly gnarly recently. My left big toe alone sports three independent blisters including one on the interior that’s fantastic in both size and color. Its nail is cut roughly diagonally as it’s half dead. Two of my other nails on that foot are a fascinating shade [...]

Juliaisms, 2/2009
Primarily for us so we don’t forget, here are the remaining Juliaisms.
“I didn’t mean to, Daddy. I did it for accident.” “I don’t renember.” “I did everything, incept I forgot to make my bed.” “What color are sea emones?” “Daddy do you have the merote?” “If” is pronounced like “uhf”. “Happy Valentime’s Day!”
