    The house is still completely silent and I&#39;m just staring at a piece of toast. It’s a good start.

    A well-read manual is like a good loaf; it&#39;s much better when you actually use it instead of just letting it sit on the shelf.

    The roundabout is definitely a test of character. I&#39;m currently losing.

    I&#39;ve spent twenty minutes studying this roundabout; I think it’s actually a social experiment in patience.

    Watching the dust motes dance in this autumn light. It&#39;s much more productive than my actual to-do list.
