You can say the door is open wide

I slept almost ten hours. I accompanied my godchild to a park and watched them hang upside down off a bar in three different ways. I had the pleasure of pitching a drawer from a piece of dead furniture over the ledge at the transfer station, which was clangily cathartic. I had my first ever gelati from Rita's with vanilla frozen custard and blood orange water ice. We cooked dinner on the grill out on the deck, the ne plus ultra of American summer rituals. My godchild took a picture of me standing on their bed and reading a picture book of Chelm tales, which I was doing because their bookshelf is at the top of their closet. I believe I am having a vacation. They happen so rarely, I never recognize them until they are under way.

It is extremely important for me to go YAY RITA'S because I am always sad that they never _quite_ expanded this far north. There was one in the Salem mall for a while when I was in college, and then there was one in Everett? Charlestown? tucked away in an industrial park and deeply unfriendly to bicycles.

I miss them, as chains go. I am glad you got to try them and hope you found it enjoyable!
