Today we write about: the questionnaire.

Very successful harvest for locals this week, with enough cherry tomatoes and blackberries for everybody, not to mention the first peppers and cucumber of the season. It's like things are finally ripening out there.

Still having trouble with getting orders from the restaurant though. Hoping to sort that out tomorrow.

"I appreciate that, I do. But... List all previous sexual partners and provide contact information for each one... seems rather invasive and ki-"

"Dear." Mrs. Lopez held up a hand to block further complaints, her thick red nail polish gleaming darkly. "Thomas is my only son. If you truly wish to go to prom with him, you must answer every... single... last... question."
