It's not all about you.

LC and I went to a farm for a night before she left town. It was so quiet you could hear a pin contemplate its existential angst. Molly the dog kept us all safe from coyotes. In the morning LC made eggs and extra crispy toast and we drank Lipton tea, a brand I have always loved, ever since Sunil used to make it for me with extra milk and sugar back when we lived together in the East Village.

Of course I saw Sunil just yesterday, in Seattle, for dinner at Shiro's. During the day Scott and I went to the Ballard Locks and ate the only great Mexican food in Seattle and drank lots and lots of coffee. The day before that I did the little hike down to the water at Discovery Park, and the mountains were out all around, and the air smelled like salt and dirt. I mean, it was really glorious. I realized I was feeling significantly better. I feel fresher. I feel pretty again, too. So that's progress.
