we went back and forth all night on the ferry

I'm afraid Chez Bond/Rowe has been busy and upheaved this week and that's led to a lackluster quality here, that if you're nice you'll pretend to have noticed. It is my hope all these things will be sorted out by tomorrow evening and life will continue as normal.

I made a little dare progress today -- 23 pages rewritten -- and had a fine torta from a tiny taqueria for dinner and convinced Christopher to watch Before Sunrise with me in anticipation of the sequel, which comes to town this weekend. Despite its Ethan Hawke-itude, he had to admit it wasn't bad. Possibly expect thoughts on watching it, or on Carrie's discussion about what of the personal becomes public with writers (maybe even touching on Stephen Elliott's Maisonneuve essay), or on how smart birds are.

Only time will tell.

Meanwhile, visit the folks on the right. They smart. And pretty too.
