     Lately I tell my grief-stricken friends that really, we don’t know what is going to happen next for our country. Most likely we will all be OK. But of course, this is just my opinion, a way to deal with my own fears.

     Skinny green shoots are appearing in the dry back yard. This little bit of rain is awakening the hidden seeds in the dirt. Strange that new growth comes in the cold fall. On the central coast of California, we have wet and dry seasons. Wet season is filled with green life and dry season is parched.

     I start reading AND HOW ARE YOU, DR. SACKS, a biographical memoir of Oliver Sacks, by Lawrence Weschler. Oliver Sacks is one of my all time heroes and this book is so satisfying.

    Finished the last episode of Masterpiece theater mystery, THE MARLOW MURDERS.  Another British show with women out smarting the police to find the murderer.
