Malicious omens

Walking back home for lunch today, I had a disturbing moment.

In front of the mural at the top of this blog---the mural that I think of as describing my current situation, communication-wise--was a dead bird.

A dead bird.

I was an English major. I think my life is a book. I just can't take that kind of symbolism!

Tonight there is a newly purchased copy of Borges translated into English, and a bottle of vino tinto con platano at the bar down the hill, with my name all over it. An excellent combination to make one feel expressive for a short while.
