WELL!
Look what I found in a thrift shop in Park Slope:
Zackly, a string vest! A long weird tank top . . .
Made of string.
That says "string vest" on it!

The Diary of Adrian Mole
Did you read that book when you were a kid? Were you totally confused by some of the things in it? Like, what is a vesta, what are PE shorts, and what the hell is a string vest???

New thing
Carry a bag of a jillion coins around with you.
Use it to pay for things!
Yes, I took my coin sack to the post office this morning.

The first fall apple
Honey crisp.
CHOMP.
Doesn't that taste remind you of picking apples in the Annapolis Valley in Nova Scotia when you were a kid?

Wowsers
Quite the bunch of garbage!
I grabbed these for Greg:
I considered taking this thing, but thought better of it:
Since someone already practiced their buzz cut on it.
Plus:
Yay books! (Though James Freund—retired lawyer—must have paid Fordham to publish his terrible photographs; maybe he donated a couple million to their capital campaign. That one's going back on the street!)
And this bottle:
Two dollars cash value at the farmer's market, AW YEAH!
Sproats!
New life is growing up from these little guys's roots (I picked the two leaves from a sidewalk plant in Los Angeles and the mini-cactus bud, now living at the office, from a colony on a sand dune on Long Island).
They just sat and sat and then one day—sproats!!

Decor addition
Donald Duck with his nephews, Huey, Dewey, and Louie, in a grayish-lavendar plastic frame.
I saw it in a thrift store in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, and like the Santa Claus boot, I just had to have it!
I unpacked it and stuck it up there last night. It really balances out the whole look, dontcha think?

Manna!
From the beach at Louis Head, in Nova Scotia.
The lefthand guy is now in our bathroom and the guy on the right is hanging on a hook on the bedroom wall.

Somewhere in Maine
Ice Box.
I got a super-weird soft serve!
I shoulda sent it back but instead I ate it.
(Note: I acquired a white hat to match Greg's Deck Plug! Plus I am wearing my special "vacation" T-shirt—oversized, formerly Greg's, purple heather, and with the neck and sleeves cut off.)

A friend
Have you ever had a person in your life who you never see but you think of often and who is still your friend forever?
When I started my job five years ago, just having moved to New York like three days before, Tara befriended me. She worked in HR and was the nicest, friendliest, coolest person ever, with an amazing skill of making everything fun! I didn't know anyone and was very lonerly, and she introduced me to a lot of people and invited me out a lot, and it really made a difference.
She left the museum a couple years to expand her scope and I haven't seen her much, but I got a surprise package from her the other day!
Containing this letter:
And this little item "for further inspection":
Um, it is from the street. It has knitting patterns in it. It was next to a hamster rollercoaster!
Basically. The best. Ever.
Tara = #1!!!!!!!

That dress
You know the one I mean. It's kind of ugly and not your style but it fits and when you really need something clean to wear—its there!
This is my dress like that. Green, with a weird pattern, cost eleven dollars from a sale rack. I wear it like twice a year, but I've had it now for--four years?
Dependable.
