why am I not surprised? mercury remains retrograde and my carpenter cancelled. he had a carpentorial emergency? clearly, the wall-less-ness of my bathroom doesn't qualify as an emergency. he says he will come tomorrow, same time, same place...same glimmer of hope.
and while I am on the subject of bathrooms-I so wanted to be a profound insightful and pithy blogger, but soon this will become know as the bathroom blog-, thanks to all you enlightened and generous men who were willing-not that you had much of a choice-to share your one stall with the several thousand women who had to pee before settling in to hear the Dalai Lama last night at the Fleet Center. much obliged.
His Holiness was a sweet as ever, although tired from the strain on his brain after two full days of conversations with MIT neuroscientists. He was losing his English, but his translator was quite eloquent, and it was enough just to be in his present presence. such a sweet, sweet, man.
