Because this is lovely, I’m going to give my foam roller some love today.

Truly beautiful writing, Adam. A uniquely wonderful style of yours that harkens back to the Scheherazade series I loved so much. As I read, I let every paragraph float in my mind, piecing together each offering to try and satiate my curiosity, yeah, the opposite of knee-jerk. I couldn’t help myself. “For I have known the world”—who or what might be revealed in the end, or will you leave me wondering. My very first “Kneejerks” reaction. This is going to be a great new series!

Oh no! You don’t know it’s a foam roller!

Well, I have never used one! I thought it was some sort of a plastic container with a screw on top. Don’t change it!!!!!! I’m sure I am the only one that did not recognize a foam roller on first sight. It all makes sense, but now I am a world away from knee-jerk. I am quite sure the next reader will not torture you with a guess. I will delete me if you’d like, so I do not ruin it for the next person. Go eat a croissant, it will make you forget all about my spider. 🕷️ 🥐.

No need for further action! I hope all the pieces fit now!

I looked again. Great idea!

And what did you see? If it is too opaque I’m fixing it!
