Walking through Mile End Park yesterday evening, I saw an old man sitting by himself on the grass. He must have been in his 80s. It dawned on me that maybe that man was me, that I had travelled back into the past and was now observing my younger self. It made me think what reasons I'd have for doing that. Sit quietly by myself in a park and wait for my younger self to walk by.

Nope, I'll put it on my reading's list!

What are you reading right now?

An Encyclopedia Of An Ordinary Life, advanced reader's copy from [livejournal.com profile] evil_onna_stick. It's really quite funny. I imagine the writer is a bit like Erma Bombeck (find her if you haven't ever heard of her) for today. She's written several books about motherhood (Erma's specialty) and her voice is all about "humorous everyday occurrences". I've laughed my ass off in the subway at least once every ride.
