twenty-five

dear to whom it may concern,

i forgot how much i enjoy early december. this morning r. and jane went ahead of me to church so i had to take ginny, the volkswagen. i loved every minute of it. driving her in the clear blue morning; the chill, nice and crisp. i had my new green coat on so i was not freezing, it was almost just right. it was just right. hearing the engine along the streets, shifting gears, watching the trees, now gold, orange and green.  it was a truly lovely lovely morning. a beautiful day.

last night we went to see ‘no country for old men; with our friend, jdt. what a film. it was amazing and thrilling in it’s intense slow manner. before the show, we hung out at the small bookstore there. i came across a book titled “the paranoid’s pocket guide to mental disorders you can just feel coming on” by dennis diclaudio. it seems witty and informative; complete with old looking illustrations. i need to add it to my list of books to get. a few weeks ago, r. and jane came along with me to redeem my barnes and noble gift card i received for my birthday last month. i had so much fun deciding which books i was going to get while listening to the holiday music playing in the store. i think that is one of little pleasures that truly delight me. holiday music playing in a bookstore. i love it. the season is upon us now. i want to enjoy every moment of it…
