DEATH LOOKS OVER MY SHOULDER
I just about died today. Well, that may be an overdramatization, but I came within 7 feet of being hit by a woman with a seemingly pathological inability to yield. I also just about fell off my bike while adjusting my sleeves (my hands were cold, okay?). I'm beginning to think that a helmet might not be a bad idea, no matter how stupid it looks.
SUDOKU ENTANGLES ME IN ITS EVIL NET
I started playing sudoku yesterday to pass the time (most of the lawyers were out of the office and I had nothing to do). I completed my first puzzle today. I'm hooked. I love the challenge. I love the distraction. I love the look of the neatly gridded squares, with half-revealed numerical secrets peeking out at me. Maybe it fills the relational void or something: my life has no great mystery, so I fill it with sudoku. It makes sense in a sick sort of way.
GREAT SCOTT! THE CHICKEN'S AMAZING!
I bet you folks out there didn't know that Carla (of carlasblogspot.blogspot.com fame) is secretly a master chef. It's true. All summer she's been hiding her skills and inwardly mocking my sad attempts at cookery. Tonight, however, her secret was revealed. I came home (perhaps unexpectedly) to discover her making dill-lemon-lime chicken, corn on the cob (seasoned with her special sauce), cucumber salad and pasta. I begged some supper off of her and was nourished in ways I'd previously only imagined. In gratitude I will now toot the Carla horn wherever I go. Get her to cook for you. If it requires a high-speed car chase and mutiny against the Crown, get her to cook for you. You won't regret it.

I MISS YOU!!! =( Send me your new address so I can mail you a letter! It's so great to read the words you write once more, I was bad for keeping up with that stuff in the summer (if I had been any good at all to begin with). Love ya! Amanda
