Re-reading

A day
A small break from a world of work.
Kurt Vonnegut died, also it is goodness day. The Tigers play baseball, and I had breakfast with my mom.
Today was just gloomy enough. The sun would have been too bright, and the blue sky would have seared the back of my eyes. A comforting grey, maybe I've lived in Michigan too long, maybe I'm well adjusted, ( Read more... ) -
