So I bought _A Moveable Feast_ by Hemingway and I’m thinking, “Hmmm, I wonder about Gertrude Stein…?” I go to the Kindle store and download a sample of _Autobio of Alice B. Toklas_. Then I get a sample of David Sedaris’ _When You Are Engulfed in Flames_ and he’s talking about Paris too! It’s like total synchronicity. I feel like life is finally moving at the pace of my interests. Maybe I’ll learn French with Rosetta Stone. Which reminds me…I thought about getting a Chinese dictionary, but Rosetta is total immersion and the sample dictionaries take you out of Chinese into English. What I really wanted was a book of pictures with the Chinese word (apple - ping guo), kind of a See Jane Run kind of a book.

I got my Kindle. It was so exciting. It was packaged like a gift. Then I had buyer’s remorse for a couple of hours. Then I bought a book. Then I fell in love.
I made soup yesterday. It’s supposed to be Fall isn’t it? So soup. Except it didn’t feel like Fall. But we really like Tortellini Soup. It’s full of vegies, so I consider it a good vitamin boost at this time of year.
So, Fall. Halloween didn’t feel a bit like Haloween this year. Why? The days were getting shorter; the weather was a tad bit cooler. Oh, I get it. We hadn’t changed the clocks yet. As soon as we did that this morning, the goofy, slightly-off feeling set in.
Maybe that’s why Halloween is so natural at this time of year. We’re all a little off (except Arizona, I think), so spooky sounds right.

Yes. I watched Oprah. I bought a Kindle. It should arrive in a few days.
I did it again. This was posed to publish over a week ago, but I hit the wrong button. Duh.
