If you never leave your house,
and you don't watch t.v., don't get The Times delivered, and you've been replaying the same cd in the kitchen for weeks... you're going to miss out on some information. Just a word to the wise.
John Updike, for anyone else who's had their head buried in the sand, died on Tuesday.
I remember the exact place and time in which I first read Couples.
I remember citing my having read Couples as evidence of my not being ignorant of the ways of the world. (JG Melon, 1991, Clare.)
I was really, very ignorant of the ways of the world.
I wish I could claim to be much better, now. But apparently, not.
I'm going to get The Times delivered. Really soon.
Two in one day...but I had to say something. Thanks for reading.

i know this feeling. we didn't even bother to go out to the mailbox for the paper 'til late afternoon. sometimes that happens...but i find that life goes on and isn't really less rich for it. :-)
I haven't read Updike since college, but I've been meaning to read more for ages. I'll move them to the top of the pile.
