Cast iron wood-burning fireplaces. Grandma was a first-rateArsonist; you might’ve read about her work in a history book.

And Flint, the premie twins, were cremated. I was fired from

Not so much in the eyes of the government institutions that
Decide if you do or do not qualify for employment insurance.
I don’t take it personally, but I do take after my grandmother.
