Oddities: not touching a pen (the way I like) for a month, making friends with Alexei the Russian over Francis Lai's 1966 score to A Man and A Woman, finding a hundred dollar bill as I rounded the corner on my way to the bank, a brief encounter with a seventy-seven year old named Lawrence whilst tapping fingers to Dixieland jazz, surreptitiously tossing a penny into the shallow waters in the Temple of Dendur, the vague recognition of strangers, & those two unexpected bowling strikes last Wednesday afternoon. Oh yes, and I have quite apparently developed an odd fascination with the ever beguiling Bruce Springsteen.
