I worried that I would end up sounding like a woman when I started regularly speaking Japanese -- in the end, I don't think I sound like anything at all... Proust is definitely not a long tweet, but if you don't like those first few pages, you're not going to like the rest of it.

congrats on the house! i know you say you don't like double walled bottles but out of all the bottles i've had (and ive had a lot) i've enjoyed Hydroflasks a lot because they can keep my water at a cool temp in 100+ F weather
