things done this weekend

( I got stuck on the Triboro Bridge )

( I met my friend Peta's three-month-old daughter )

( I had lunch at a Thai restaurant )

( I played the guitar )

( I looked at cats and resisted the temptation to tap on the window )

( I was distracted by the struggle to spell 'every' )

( I wondered why 'forty' doesn't contain a 'u' )

to be done today

Today at 1 pm I go to a hearing at City Hall, at the end of which I should have a piece of paper entitling me to play the guitar and accordion on the streets of Providence.

Books!

Most times I go to New Jersey I end up coming home with a lot of books, because there's a very nice used and new bookstore in Montclair and at one point or another I tend to find my way there.

This visit's haul:

- John Brunner: The Atlantic Abomination
- Michael Dibdin: Back to Bologna
- Robert Don Hughes: The Faithful Traitor
- Jasper Fforde: The Fourth Bear
- John Brunner: From This Day Forward
- The Believer: The Games Issue
- James P. Blaycock: The Last Coin

And there it is.
