i only had that brief chance to drop a “happy thanksgiving” note on you last week, so now we’re all back here in one place. she explained: "in some cases it's just people who will open up a compound they have and let people who are total strangers sleep there, gather there, enter and use their toilets and their kitchens to help them out." a passing in the hallway or a shared ride in an elevator with someone who could possibly be your new best friend, but no one says anything, no one breaks the ice.
