Everyone else sleeps, even Skoshi, here beside me while my day begins perfectly: books, paper, pencils & pens & markers, coffee by butane burner because here in paradise we have no power and data won’t cook coffee. Anyone recognize the mug?

Morning books? “INSPIRATION AND INCARNATION, Evangelicals and the Problem of the Old Testament” by Peter Enns, and the fabulous-but-I-don’t-really-get-the-science-part, BLACK HOLE BLUES and OtherSongs from Outer Space,” Janna Levin.

In the afternoon i will immerse myself in Diane’s “People” magazines. (This would be my fun friend, “Diane,” from “Life with a Capital ‘L’” Windsock story fame.)
