Really love the integration of personal experience, sense of place, the nature of a specific community and current cultural tides. Reminds me a lot of a David Foster Wallace story. Very much looking forward to see where you take this, Robert.

Haha. As it turns out, she won’t. Nor did the higher-ups care very much, either.

I'm hooked! I can't wait to see what our heroine Madysyn comes up with. San Francisco is a perilous place, particularly for nice girls from Scottsdale, so I do have my fears.

Thanks Peter. It’s a happy ending, but that’s only because she gets out of San Francisco, haha.
