The sky had changed to its otherworldly glow of late afternoon in New England between Thanksgiving and Christmas. It makes you think winter vacation is coming up even though it's been 15 years since you had to go to school and throw spitballs. Anyway there's no winter vacation in the real world. I took a course in Zen once, but it didn't help me deal with the real world. Climbing the hill. I kept seeing people in laundromats, throwing...
