2) I'm nearly finished the book I picked up at Strand on Broadway, Conquest of the Useless, by one of the utmost geniuses of our time, film director Werner Herzog. Yesterday I was sure that I read one passage in which Herzog says that after finishing a book (while filming Fitzcarraldo in the Amazon jungle), he felt so lonely that he buried the book far in the jungle. I can't seem to find that quote now, which makes me fear that I will feel just as lonely when I finish this brilliant book. Especially if my man is still sick with the dreaded flu.
3) I love this man.
4) I just had the most delicious organic pear.
