Observations
- Editors are wildly grateful when you actually give them chapters.
- Bike mechanics are fundamentally interesting, wonderful people. And when you explain that your hands are losing their strength; what used to be a one-minute tire change now takes 10-15 minutes; and that you're therefore conservative about replacing tires when they begin to develop dry rot, they may start rooting around and finding just the right tires for your circumstances.
- With no speaking engagements in the immediate future, I can quit trying to look like a grown-up and instead indulge my childlike delight in bright nail polish. As of this afternoon, my fingernails are a vivid orange, and my toenails a disturbing shade of oogy blue.
- On April 16, 2005, the compost pile was still frozen.
- On April 19, 2006, the compost pile was steaming.
- On the day after a trip, you can't get nearly as much done as you thought you could. But as the evening wanes, you'd better find the wherewithal to go change those cat boxes, or Luigi will leave boom-boom on the library rug tomorrow.

You know that the orange and blue could be the evidence of subliminal assimilation into the S.U. universe, don't you? Proving once again, as the Borgs often say "It is pointless to resist". Yeah...I'm a bit of a Trekkie.
