I’m back from my week in Nebraska. I had a good time visiting with family and friends. Activities included watching the 1981 BBC television adaptation of The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy with my friend Jen, which was quite fun. On Wednesday morning I met another friend at the new Panera Bread in town, both of us having agreed to bring a book in case the other was late. Oddly enough, we both independently decided to bring The Night Country by Loren Eiseley. What are the odds? It’s a really good book, I recommend it.
