I’ll read anything in a bulleted list.

Some things I will tell you:

  • I have a bit of a pain in my foot.  I think it has to do with trying to get back into my running routine and wearing high heels.  Note:  not when I’m running.
  • I enjoy gum.
  • Something that puzzles me:  how on earth do public libraries work?  It’s such a utopian concept:  an institution invests a lot of money and effort in amassing a collection.  The public goes in, gets the resources, takes them home, tries not to ruin them, and gives them back, all of this at no cost to the consumer.  The punishment for returning them late is a very reasonable fine.  This is not quite the same as a rental situation, in which the user pays upfront.  This is all based on trust.  It’s really amazing.  Why don’t people screw it up more?  It can’t be more bad than good from the libraries’ perspective, or libraries wouldn’t exist anymore.
