popcorn...
Howard remembered that you weren't allowed to pop microwave popcorn at MEDITECH... and a few weeks ago asked me if the same strict rule applied at Lois. I thought not, but Thursday it was confirmed, as that old-fashioned buttery smell permeated the entire Operations department. I wrote to tell him so.

He overheard me talking about my torturous adventure with The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle and agreed. After feeling like such an odd-man-out by all of the people who loved this book, I felt a sense of relief.
 
adventure...
While reading of his talk of adventure: Asia, the trans-Siberian highway, Denali, I couldn't help but compare it to my contentment with this tiny little apartment space. Perhaps I'm storing up all that energy and excitement for Spain in April. Or perhaps the open road last March made me more tired than I can even imagine.
