My day must seem so threadbare to so many of you, as I do nothing really and truly exciting, but seem to describe some kind of circle, some kind of daily path which starts off with JavaBreak and ends in MonteBoy's RV there just inside the leveee. In between lie the Computer Center, a stay at Poetry Cafe (where I no longer feel terribly welcome), and the answering of personal letters.
I showed Mindy my new Greek/English New Testament this morning and she made all the proper ohhhing and ahhhhing sounds to make me feel good about it. MikeBell soon came in and the conversation turned to Nancy's Basement and what remains to be done there, the house out in the country (and what remains to be done there) and then he was off to his life and I was off to mine....
Sharply colder today, so I am dressed in layer upon layer. Wearing ankle socks today, so there is a patch of lower calf which is not covered by the maroon sweat nor by socks. It is a cold patch of skin which, after awhile, seems to adjust and no longer cries out for attention.
Clear, cold, blue sky, and a flock of (gulls?) there in the Kanzas River, near the sandbar. little bits and pieces of white moving ever so slowly amidst the placid water. The sandbars are truly gigantic this time of year, and they will utterly disappear with the rising of the water. Christian Bro and Sis who live in the tipis there along the levee came walking rapidly by, bearing plastic jugs of water, headed back home. They've been there in the tipis for years, I'm told, and no one bothers them. This is one of the lovely things I find about Lawrence, that it has this compassionate approach to those who live outside the mainstream. I fit in well.
Kanzas. That's how the early settlers spelled it. I love the orthography.
