It's pouring out, but I managed to walk the dogs with an umbrella in one hand and a leash in the other. I'm going with a friend to see an art museum show later. It beats staying in and complaining. She and I are big Gertrude Stein fans. With both wrote papers on her in grad school, and we're excited to see one of the two exhibits now on hand. She is my favorite writer. I know she's not readable to most people, because you have to go into an altered state to experience her language, but I find her funny, delightful and profound. She's the perfect support for right speech: she makes you hear and speak with awareness and freshness. I love the narrative of her life as well. I think she was brave and true to herself and determined to live life as fully as the men she saw around her.
So let the rain come, and the cold, and the soggyness of public transportation, we will have ourselves some fun today.
