Hi David,

I feel like it has been awhile since I've talked to you. I checked out your website and almost posted the fact that 2 nice strangers were nice to River and I today (and it wasn't even sunny out!) One paid for our parking at alewife station because we didn't have cash and then, later, the busiest day ever at the supermarket (is there a hurricane coming we don't know about or what?) someone with a cart full of junk cereal, ground beef and hamburger buns let us cut ahead to pay for out meager basket of salad items. uMMM good cucumbers! We went to harvard sq. today and it was very nostalgic. We started in central sq. and had the ass-kickingist indian food buffet for 5.95! yeah! many hours later River is still full. I felt truly at home in central sq. I thought "maybe I'll move here one day."

red line memories: treking to alewife and getting picked up by the red volvo station wagon, wisked away while hungrily anticipating (in typical vegetarian fashion) delicious mac 'n cheese with bread crumbs on top. Remember those squirrels in that old graveyard we used to visit in harvard sq.? They are still there, probably a lineage dating back to 1663. Cambridge strangely feels like home. though Harvard sq. was so busy today that all the people made me feel a little anxious. I was looking for shoes for my sister's wedding ( no luck) Your uncle was busy on the day, so my sister and Duco went for a rabbi that someone knows, and they are more or less having a jewish wedding which makes my mom happy. I'm so glad it's spring!

Hope all is well in p-land. greetings to emily. also to asher&chrstai.
Love, Miriam

Glow, city at night
Gentle me to sleep...      "BOOO-yaah!"
Shit.  The bars just closed.

Thank you to the anonymous money-returner who ever so kindly and honestly refrained from keeping the wad of cash he or she found at the Trader Joe's on N. W. Glisan, and instead gave it to the proper authorities.
And, while we're at it, thank you to Emily who convinced me that I should call the store and see if anyone had been so kind and honest as to refrain from keeping my wad of cash.

You are both amazing! Thank you.
Love,
     David

My sweetie's sleeping
She makes a little sound like
"Hmm...
                  hmm...
                                    hmm...
                                                      hmm...
                                                                        hmm..."

If 13 was good,
4 was the color of life,
I'd find fear elsewhere

Your strange, beautiful
Music wafts up to me like
From the forest floor
