I was staying in an unfamiliar town at a really old resort - in fact, it was like I was back in time somehow. I spent the days swimming and walking through the town. I was alone but people were really friendly and I spent a lot of time buying little things at flea markets. The day came for me to leave and I was trying to pack up all the things I had brought with me and I found there wasn't enough room in my suitcase for the old stuff and the new stuff and I had to decide which I was leaving behind.

And anyone with even an iota of understanding of the human mind can figure that one out...

It is a gorgeous day here...I will be departing later for yet another bday party for one of my sister's kids - I bought him a Polaroid Joycam because he likes mine and always asks me to bring it with me when I visit. It's a good kid-camera.

After dinner last night, K. and I had driven over to the Foot and parked and were getting ready to get out of her car when a cop car pulled up right next to us. We got out and they pulled ahead of us and parked and one of them jokingly said "Everything okay? You guys froze when you saw us." And K. said "We were waiting for some nice police officers to escort us across the street." So one of them went out into the middle of Augusta and stopped traffic and the other made a dramatic gesture of helping us cross. Do I, in general, dislike Chicago cops? Yes, I do. But it was funny.
