1) I dreamed that my mother's best friend divorced her husband and moved to a Momune in New Mexico. (I can't find a link for Momune. Sigh.) I also dreamed that I was trying to find somewhere to stay in Central America, and ended up renting a room from a family of oil bootleggers (who filled individual jars with black crude for people to take home and process) who lived in this vast stucco-and-tile underground mansion.

2) My grandparents are here.

3) Today, I walk three miles into town to buy a book. My tendonitus is killing me, but it's better than nothing.

love,
alex
