    Ideally it would be a nice (but not dazzlingly splendid) day when you get up then it would start raining as soon as you get to the library.

    Last night it was raining so I didn't go to library; this morning it looked too hot... I need to tough up and go get my damn books.

    For anyone wanting to follow an urge ... Woolf's Essays and more...

    Possessed of a sudden and irresistible urge to read two things: (1) all of Virginia Woolf's essays in order; (2) all Stanislaw Lem's novels.

    Because I believe in following my reading whims without question, I'm returning all my library books tomorrow morning and taking out those.

    It sounded like the first line of a trying-too-hard to be clever novel by somebody fresh out of an MFA program.

    So I'm lumbering around the reservoir on my nightly run, when I overhear: "I only began brushing my teeth in 1968."
