Walking these days take some attention. I mean, it always demanded that we have our eyes and ears open, but walking in the midst of a pandemic requires an additional sense - as in common sense.

Scarier than Halloween

In recent years I’ve been Joan from Mad Men, Celia from Weeds and Olive from Easy A.
