You had me at Mr. Willowby, Sheila. I think I would benefit from an emotional support lemur. Great piece!

I mean, wouldn’t everyone at this point?! 😉

Only $750k?! Sounds like the parking spot equivalent of a murder house. If you ask in MA, are agents required to disclose that info?

Oooh!!! That is a great point! I’ll add it to my ask. Madison is anxious enough!!! And we know Whitey and his crew was all over this town…👀

I've never actually been to NYC. It's seems super intimidating, looking on from Michigan.

Aww! You’d fit right in! The great thing about that city is that can pretty much drive the Weinermobile through Times Square and no one would notice!

I have always been very much attached to my Madisons. Being now old and decrepit, I keep away..

There's nothing wrong with proper pampering!

I think Madison and I could be friends.

If I got the same attention as Madison….that’s all I’m saying. And yeah, good idea to have friends in high parking places….

OMG! Best essay! Hilarious and depressing. Haha. Good thing we’re about to move to your neck of the woods. We need to meet up at Tatte— the chain cafe that’s actually good.

Fortunately there are a few Tattes to choose from now! One near me in Arlington. We could do a series: Rate the Tattes! I’m in! 👍🏻💗

Tour guides of Boston with a comedic angle. Ie: Gardner museum. Those empty frames are exquisite. I didn’t know they featured modern art.

Oh..this might have to legitimately happen! Shows up to Fenway with a couple of big, butterfly nets: “We’re here to catch a green monstahhh. We got repahhts of a Monstah around here? Green? That’s all it says on the sheet…so..? Hey-is that the sausage guy? You wanna split a sausage while we see if this thing shows?”

Man, I sometimes miss having a vehicle. My last car was a 2002 Jetta. It was a beaut for about three months, similar lighting to Madison's but then electrical went undercarriage UP and never recovered its initial cool. I'm a green machine these days: rentals, buses, Lyft, carshare, bicycle. Maybe I'll had a year or two on my life cycle? Who knows. Fun story, She!

Respect my friend! We had a mini cooper, which was lovely until it was EXPENSIVE. Cristal washes would have been cheap in comparison

Only Sheila Moeschen could use the adjective "undouched" in place of "untouched". ( Even if it is a typo, it is hilarious.)

I have a neighbor with exactly the same needs as Madison. She is just as ridiculous. Great post, Sheila, and such a lovely photo of Tiny's. There may be a story in that one for me...

I wish you much strength and patience and high fences for your Madison! Nope-not a typo at all! Just my personal quest to rewrite the dictionary one nonsense term at a time! I will put you down for 12 volumes….😘
