Both reading Junger.

I think it’s funny (somehow) that my wife and I are both reading books by Sebastian Junger currently.  Adventure reading, from our 4th floor apartment full of books, notebooks, pens, and baby toys.  She’s reading A Death in Bellmont (which I read this fall and loved), and I’m reading Fire.

This is a short post.  Wow.  You might like them if you like anything that I do (Chatwin, Hemingway, Ondaatje, etc.).

In other news, I will be less boring this week, in addition to being less employed, less stressed and less exhausted (ha! to the last one).

Wanna sit in a cafe’ today.

The weather is getting warmer in Baltimore, but it’s still nice in the shade if you sit still. As much as I love my job, I’d love even more to be able to spend this morning sitting in a nice cafe’ reading and relaxing. I’m re-reading In the Skin of a Lion, which is a phenomenal story if you haven’t read it.  Combining that book with some coffee might be a slice of Wednesday morning heaven today.  But there’s work to be done in Central Baltimore Land.
