matt also housed me excellently and perpetrated many puns towards me during my stay in brooklyn, and he and kseniya outfitted a tiny lady-loft for me to sleep in. i had also suggested some type of bucket/pulley system to get linus up there, or a long plank ramp, but, i had to sleep dogless for a few nights. Then I continued my drive to visit my grandpa for his NINETIETH birthday--sheesh! it was -6 degrees where he lives, and he is getting progressively spicier with age.
