I’m sitting in a San Francisco hotel room, drinking wine with HeatherB, who is telling a complicated story about her life.

Me: Aw honey, it is HARD to be Heather, isn’t it?

Heather: YES IT IS. I don’t know HOW people do it.

Chris IMs me early early this morning, as I am simultaneously struggling to publish a post and peel Charlie off my arm.

Chris: I got up at 4:00 am to work. I wanted to see what it feels like to be Susan Wagner.

Me: Well?

Chris: It feels tired.

Me: Exactly.

Text message from Chris: Soooo tired. I don’t know how people can be Susan Wagner.

Text message back: I don’t know HOW people do it.
