Unfortunately, I have to do that tedious drive again today, only this time in a claustrophobia-inducing van after teaching. I'm not looking forward to it. Nor do I have high hopes for my trip, since it will be so compressed. I want to see my sister and her husband-to-be in their happy moment. I want to see my relatives. I want to have quality time with my parents. I just don't fee like traveling right now. And, as I've already noted here -- and thereby inadvertently upset my sister -- I really don't want to see NYC for the first time post-9/11. Now that I'm reading Haruki Murakami's Underground -- thanks for the provocation, Gideon! -- which focuses on the Aum cult's terrorist attack on the Tokyo subway system from back in 1995, I feel especially edgy. There's nothing like reading about people's struggle to breathe to make me antsy. Time for a few hours of sleep. . .

Hammer Time
It is hard to be here. As I much as part of me wants to return, I clearly exhaust my will in other ways. But I can at least muster up the energy to…
