A strange silence. The spousal unit, in a heroic back-to-nature attempt, has taken our children to Yosemite for the weeekend. They left at about 12:30. It is now 7:14, and here is what I have done so far:
1) watched the Madonna episode of Glee on hulu.
2) answered a bunch of e-mails.
3) checked in on FB and typed a response to my brother's posted photo of an A & W, where we used to eat ten cent Coney Dogs on...Tuesdays? Wednesdays?
4) in The Normal School, read an epistolary story by Susan Straight titled, "Dear Mr. Atende." Thumbs up.
5) in The Normal School, read a report by R.B. Moreno titled, "The Hair in Your Texas Garlic Toast," which was all about how, yeah, we're probably eating human hair. Thumbs up. I guess?
6) in The Normal School, read a gorgeous fairytale-type story by Maud Casey titled, "The Prince Who Wanted To See the World." Thumbs extraordinarily up.
7) In The Normal School, read a story by Steve Almond titled, "Old Glory," which was about some guy who wakes up with guacamole on his balls, or maybe this was a metaphor? Thumbs down, down, down.
8) became annoyed by Steve Almond's heartless ruination of my Normal School reading experience.
9) sat in the sun.
10) took a nap.
And now I write. Epic afternoon.

Sounds like a very nice day?
we are not campers.
An excellent day, Marianne! If I'd made it to Green Apple Books, that would've been even better. But guess what?--There's always TODAY!
Indeed, Kuya, we are not. The SU knew not to even ask me to go along. Except in jest.
