Mike woke me on his way in. He had three orchids from the Farmers Market in hand. I dressed and we went to 'bagels'. An amazing day proceeded. From our morning adventures we brought home:

Books:
The Sirens of Titan by Kurt Vonnegut
The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho
William Faulkner's Collected Stories
Mrs. Dalloway by Virginia Wolfe
Love Poems for the Very Married by Lois Wyse (x2)
Thoreau: On Man and Nature
Winter Has Lasted Too Long by James Kavahaugh

Records:
Stephen Stills, Stephen Stills
Joni Mitchell, Court and Spark

Neil Diamond, Hot August Nights

Miscellaneous:
An old Adidas 'overnight bag'

Wine picnic bag
An application to show art work at The Great Bear
X-ray light box

We drove by Neal Cassady's old property in Monte Sereno, CA and we spent our afternoon reading in the mustard orchard in celebration of 'Jack Kerouac January'. After a stop in the Saratoga library, we came home and listened to our new Joni Mitchell record. I teared.
