ramble through the bronx

* I doubt he'll call. But he was pretty cute. And he had an adorable Minnesota accent. Do you want the story? It's cute. It involves Husserl, accents, group therapy, and a woman with a strange, strange name.
** I finally got around to writing the letter to Graeme Nicholson I've been meaning to write. Now I have to put a stamp on it. I found one of his books at the Strand yesterday, and bought it. (The Strand, by the way, is all renovated, and stuff is much, much easier to find than previously. YAY!!)
*** I re-read Eggers' A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius, and read Susan Jacoby's Freethinkers: A History of American Secularism, which I strongly recommend for all those who tire of enforced american religiosity.
