Evanston: reservations to fly
Evanston: reservations to fly
How quickly we adopt mind-sets.
I just spent several minutes trying to fit one last bowl into the dishwasher until it occurred to me that I could wash the thing myself in ten seconds, which I then did. And this from someone who doesn’t even have hot or running water on the boat.
This is our building. Our condo is the right half of the third floor.
I made my reservations and fly to New Zealand on October 29, returning here next March 16.
Sunny and windy today. Tree tops flailing about outside our windows. Locals say that Chicago has two seasons: winter and road repair. At the moment the latter is taking place a half block away.
I’m about 500 pages into Don DeLillo’s UNDERGROUND, which was number 2 on a recent N.Y. TIMES list of the three best American novels of the past quarter century. Even though I’m not certain where it is going or even what it is about, other than waste management and the pursuit of a famous baseball, I am enjoying it more than the other two, which are Toni Morrison’s BELOVED and Cormac McCarthy’s BLOOD MERIDIAN.
