PICTURES:

First up a screenshot of Tom’s half contrite text.

There’s also picture Caitlin took of her room the day she moved out of the house that she shared with Amy. The neatly packed boxes and the vibrant colors of the room belie the turmoil in Caitlin’s life that day. I wonder what made her take that picture? Perhaps it was symbolic of a new beginning.

And picture of yours truly on my weekend trip with my Away suitcase. Look, my suitcase is charging my phone!

They're all waiting at facebook.com/secretroompod and on Instagram (secretroompod).
