Beautifully recounted! The first story resonates because of your back then title captured in the apron… those were hard years indeed, and the second one - nope, it doesn’t resonate with this chicken, but its still an excellent read.
As one who knows absolutely nothing about much - i wonder if these essays could find a home in a book, a collection of short stories (my favorite genre, and probably of others too). 🙏
Beth, these may be small in length, but not in impact. Each one opens a whole world and your cycling piece shows a bravery only a true Torontonian rider knows. Beautiful work.

Lovely! Like everything else you write.
These were very evocative. I've published essays recently in all lengths and short CNF is a lot of fun. Here's one of my faves: https://www.levraphael.com/PDF/Migraines-in-the-middle-of-the-night-URevolution.pdf
