And I found the books I'd requested online over the weekend ready for me at the circulation desk -- great service since I was there about 10:30 on Monday and the library opened at 10.
Among my pile of books is "The Anglo Files: A field guide to the British" by Sarah Lyall. I'd read a review in the Sunday NYTimes (not very favorable), and since it was in the library, decided to take it out. Maybe it will help me understand what others find strange about me!
Simultaneously I'm reading "Home is a roof over a pig: An American family's journey in China" by Aminta Arrington (highly recommended by Betsy). Soon I'll be steeped in west-east culture!
Meanwhile, back on the Point, our neighbor's cat, Sandy, was at her usual spot: staring intently into the phragmites, something she does for a long while every day. Is she hoping for a mouse? Or maybe a water rat? We never see her lunge or catch anything!
'scuse me, must get back to my book.
