Daringly Mine

Dear J—

I suppose the long-form text blog entry is a dying medium (dead), with most of the posts that I read nowadays filled with illlustrations and hashtags, social media beckoning us onward to share our lives, perfected, with strangers.

I read about services in Japan that will let you rent a friend or even a family member: need a dad to be contrite to the principal? Yeah, we can do that. The more I read about it, though, the less fun the stories got and hopefully I can do some justice to the concept of a rental family as I continue to work on that article.
