"Rose around 11."

Try not thinking of peeling an orange. Try not imagining the juice running down your fingers, the soft inner part of the peel. The smell. Try and you can't. The brain doesn't process negatives.
Doug Coupland


The Nora Diary, Day 12

Oranges in bed.
Rose around 11. To
Chunks for dinner.
Symphony Hall to-
hear Alma Gluck.
Wonderful.


For the Record,
This day came in cloudy and damp, seasonal temperatures for a change. Much lower, below freezing temps predicted for Monday and Tuesday night. I dare not think of the results to the budding, flowering bushes and trees.
