Finally, some progress. It was a nice warm day so I got to sit outside after work and read. There were only a few distractions: a head filled with too much caffeine, a hawk ripping apart something dead right behind me, the normal beggars (seriously, I’m not giving you $1.25 for the bus), some boys that thought I was funny (I was not funny). But I read, and that's the point. I even enjoyed some of it. Here's a part I particularly liked (page 111):
By the time the rains came at the end of June, the fetus was fully formed inside her womb. Knees and nose were present; and as many heads as would grow were already in position. What had been (at the beginning) no bigger than a full stop had expanded into a comma, a word, a sentence, a paragraph, a chapter; now it was bursting into more complex developments, becoming, one might say, a book -- perhaps an encyclopedia -- even a whole language...
Punctuation babies ... I like it.
What's the forecast for tomorrow?
