the jefferson pools are great-- they're actually in bath co va (i wonder if anyone calls bath county that, bathcova. i hope not)

I watched a circumcision yesterday. I cried. I just now remember conversing with you many years ago, or maybe hearing you and Mikhaela talk, about preferences regarding un/circumcised men; i think we were on the same team. Anyway, they didn't even use anesthetic. And the doctor was an asshole.

Warm springs! sound amazing. I didn't know how far i'd have to venture to find such things in this part of the country; out West they seem to be everywhere. Looking at a map, there IS a place called "Bacova" not far from Warm Springs--only a th amiss. And near Warm Springs is Hot Springs, sweet, so you have a choice. In any case, it's all about 250mi from here. Not bad.

I would respond more but i'm distracted by a hunger tummyache with absolutely no appetite. I don't know what to do. Forcefeed?
