Do you ever wonder if the world will be the same place when you go away on a trip? Like, maybe some war breaks out. Or the Red Sox could win the first part of the division series. It could happen. The Yankees lost and the Red Sox won last night. Who knows?! Anyway, I am off to NYC in an hour or so for my sister’s wedding. I am bringing two books: American Pastoral by Philip Roth and Stiff by Mary Roach. Plus I have the new Harper’s and Maisonneuve, so I should be fine for the trip there at least. I haven’t finished Cynthia Ozick’s book, but I am only finding it so-so. Great beginning, but really lagging toward the end. Anyway, see y’all next week. Who knows how the world might change in the next 5 days?

One of out customers went away for two weeks (to either Brazil or New Zealand – maybe both) and when he returned to Washington, DC, we had a baseball team for the first time in 33 years. It came as a surprise to him. (We were saving newspapers for him – before he left he told us he was worried he wouldn’t get any sports news while away.)
PS: I love your blog and read it every day.
