Up at 3:30, before the 4 am alarm. Class, then lots of reading senior notebooks, weekly lunch with S., a couple of runs to the mailroom, cooking taco salad, dinner with the house boys, last minute drive to the postoffice, a couple of phone calls. It is just about bedtime, and I don't really have anything profound or effective to write.
When in need, turn to Douglas Coupland.
"When I was younger I used to worry so much about being alone--of being unlovable or incapable of love. As the years went on, my worries changed. I worried that I had become incapable of having a relationship, of offering intimacy. I felt as though the world lived inside a warm house at night and I was outside, and I couldn't be seen--because I was out there in the night."
from _Life After God_
"I want you for my bodyguard,
to curl around each other like two socks
matched and balled in a drawer."
from "On guard"
Marge Piercy
For his wife’s birthday, Lenny gave her a beautiful diamond ring.
After hearing about this extravagant gift, a friend of his said, "I thought she wanted one of those four-wheel-drive vehicles."
"She did," Lenny replied, "but where the heck was I going to find a fake Jeep?"
