I think you ...I also loved the fresh paint line. <br /><br /> I think you handled the between beautifully. The bit with the stoners and how you sense they are feeling you out to see if you still belong, the dentist who is the go-between for your Mom's set and you (even his office is in the middle, outdated decor, updated equipment). And, of course, the between space that you occupy with Claire. <br /><br />I like exploring this space. Especially when someone like you is handling the subject.
