   Summary

   In which a wardrobe malfunction kicks off the Bellesco Rube Goldberg machine. I guess that makes Aldo the marble?

   Or: the 5+1 format as the competence kink trenchcoat hiding self-reflection, ruminations on grief, learning to see each other as people, apocryphal texts, Reformation jokes, my hysterical obsession with silver curls, etc.
