Kindred part 1

“I lost an arm on my last trip home. My left arm.”

Octavia is a superior name. Losing an arm is serious, especially a left arm. But judging by her name alone, I suspect she will flourish despite the loss.

This reminds me of a joke I heard once -- I just flew in from Chicago after losing my left arm, and boy is my right arm tired!

Wait, that's not it...
