Such Sweet Sorrow
Bagels for Katy. New Yorker. Hasn't been home in over three years and hasn't eaten any since. "Good." At the end of every peak season, we hold a farewell party. These are garish affairs: once my co-worker threw up and then kissed me; another time I spanked my boss. It makes for a poetic symmetry to how they began their time here.

Farming in Australia
A few years ago now, I decided that I was tired of waiting. I wanted to go to Australia, a place I had been dreaming of since I was a kid and used to watch Steve Irwin's Crocodile Hunter show religiously. I constantly used to fantasize about sneaking aboard a boat and making my way through the Outback to find him amongst the animals, where I would ask him to make me his apprentice and teach me everything he knew about the natural world.
