Thank you, Rona. It was an interesting and often poignant experience to work so closely with women and their bodies and all the societal and cultural and personal issues that go with that. And thanks as always for reading - your thoughtful presence here means a lot to me.

Bra fitter. I had no idea that was a thing, even at Nordstroms. Thanks for sharing another interesting chapter of your life.

It’s a thing all right. Not for me. But it was interesting for a very short time. Thanks for reading! Are you back home now?

This was incredible and the end left me with a "terrible feeling" that I hate to address, but always need to. Thank you!

Thank you, Mike! It was a poignant experience that stayed with me. So much of that job was about superficial appearances and women wanting their bodies to look a certain way. In contrast, this encounter was a powerful reminder about vulnerability, illness and mortality. Thank you as always for reading and commenting!
