Great chapter as always! The comment “If you ask me, they screwed
up the due date...” for Fabricio makes me wonder if it’s worth the effort to go back and see if Nadine and Thiago were in the same place nine months before.
@Acedias, it’s great to see that you checked in today for the first time in a while. @quokka was trying to remember your user name and @Kitt and I
both thought of you with great memories of your stories. I hope life has brought you to a place where you might start posting your work here again.

The End of Eddy, by Édouard Louis, the story of an effeminate young boy who struggles to grow up in a lower class home in the north of France. He tries to become the kind of “tough guy” so admired in his village but in the end his escape is through education.
I've been commuting by train for more than 40 years--first the Chicago Transit Authority and for the last couple of decades the Metra Union Pacific North Line from Chicago. It's great to see the slow traffic on the Kennedy Expressway from my train seat 😁.

This happens to me just about every day on my iPhone 7, iOS 10.3.2, Safari but not in a consistent pattern that I've identified. But in general, I think it's better not to stay logged in to sites continuously, so having to sign on again doesn't bother me.
Usually we put up a fake tree (easy to put up, no falling needles) but this year we'll be out of town for the holiday so we'll be decorating our 6-foot potted Norfolk Island pine instead.
