Miscellaneous Thoughts

1. I now have something to look forward to — three weeks, give or take a day or two, in England in the Fall. I will go and talk to this new travel agent in the morning.

2. I bought 10 pairs of cotton underpants tonight. I now have enough clean underpants {predicated on one clean pair a day} to go five whole weeks without having to go to the washeteria. I am aware that this item can very easily be classified as More Than You Wanted To Know.

3. A few days ago, I supervised 30 children in the library watching a man show them snakes. Next week I supervise a Reptiles and Amphibians show. I see a trend here…

4. It is not a good thing for a child to feel that he has to tell an adult what he thinks she wants to hear. I told a 13 year old boy this at the library today.

5. I am feeling tired and uncreative tonight. I wonder if I will spend most of MY time fighting my own feelings of sadness in six years when I am the same age as my partner is now.

6. Tomorrow will be better.
