Today was devoted primarily to reviewing an article that I had been sent and preparing a narrative document with more detailed comments.
So instead of a sentence I wrote I offer today a quote that I tracked down which sets the tone in some respects for the piece I am working on for TPTINTD as well as the current dissertation chapter I am writing:
"You needed me. You needed to perfect me.
In your absence you polished me into the Enemy.
Your history gets in the way of my memory."
---Excerpt from 'Farewell' by Agha Shahid Ali
Hmm as I think about it some more it seems like this verse/excerpt sets the tone for one of the main arguments in the dissertation as a whole.
Until tomorrow!

Two friends that met in Karachi, Pakistan when we were in our 20s. Now we're in our 30s and even better friends even though we've never been in the same space at the same time for more than a month! Equally mad, equally sane....the numero uno trait that binds us as friends is our die-hard optimism. And so we continue to live by the maxim that one just has to deal with 'it'! Welcome to our blog - a space that explores the "In-Progress" us and everything we're passionate about.
