I can't read in bed.  I end up staying up all night, trying to
FINISH THAT NOVEL!  So I have taken over the living room couch,
which has a fairly massive "scholar's mistress" on it,
and a table with lamp next to it, and a stereo across the way,
and a lap-cat to act as book-prop.  The cat will probably have
spinal difficulties someday as a result of propping up everything
and anything readable.  I like either a cup of good coffee
in the morning, or a glass of Stolichnaya in the evening.

My life seems to go through periods of intense activities
and harried schedules, followed by periods of reading five hours
a night and letting everything else go to the birds.
That's why I like the weather in the  Bay Area.  It only gets
obnoxiously sunny for a month or two out of the year,
the rest of the time is a monotonous overcast that lends itself
well as an excuse to stay inside and read.

Support your Public Library.  It needs all the help it can get.
