1. Possession of a musical instrument, no matter how beautiful and/or pricey the instrument, does not immediately convey upon one the
ability to make music with said instrument.

2. In the past
week, every time I've lost my temper it's been to do with somebody
getting all up in my space or even just threatening to. My hatred of
people is not to be underestimated. That said, I really do miss you
terribly.

3. The decision as a parent whether to arm your kids or let them learn
to fight their own battles barehanded is the hardest for me. What
metaphor, what myth, where in the past is this grounded and how can I
cut us free. Or maybe it's a good one to return to, a good wound to
lick.

4. Every time I think of the story it becomes more complicated, to the
point that I can't imagine I'll ever write it down without making it
simpler, except every complexity makes me love the story more, to the
point where it becomes cheating to leave anything out.

5. I hab a colb. I neeb somb tissues ad a nap.
