"Mary Poppins Departs Newark"



Last time I was home-home, a friend said something to the tune of...

 


Like the trade winds or Mary Poppins, 

You blow in here around this time every year

And every year I tell myself,

"next year remember to wear boots."

But I never do.

 

It heartens me to know that there is a place where 

I am still associated with muddy, awkward, and/or fantastic adventures.
