Mixed Bag

Today on my lunch break I reread one of my favorite short stories, "Quiet Please," from Aimee Bender's collection The Girl in the Flammable Skirt. This remains one of my all time favorites because it's so very poignant and palpable. I highly recommend hunting down a copy.

My eyesight is failing miserably. Thank goodness for Vision insurance! New glasses are always a welcome distraction.

I had my first instance, in Seattle, of patron flirtation. I blame the fact that I was wearing a "Read Banned Books" pin. Maybe I should start sporting that sucker outside of working hours?
