October 3, 2005

"He wanted to be near and not near [his parents], he saw them close, he saw them far.  Suddenly they were awfully small in too large a room in too big a town and much too huge a world.  In this unlocked place they seemed at the mercy of anything that might break in from the night....  Including me, Will thought.  Including me....  Suddenly he loved them more for their smallness than he ever had when they seemed tall"--Something Wicked This Way Comes


Dreamed of the whole family going to a World's Fair in New York; the others deciding later in the evening to stay a few hours longer; unleashing chaos; wishing we'd left earlier; deciding that the US needed more eccentrics like me; being an inmate character in an Oz-like prison drama.

Went to a job interview in the morning at the Northern District library.  They gave me ten minutes to sort a bunch of cards numerically and alphabetically, and I did it in about two minutes.  Looks hopeful.

Dinner was chicken curry.

At choir practice they gave us concert tickets to peddle.
