It's been a very quiet day at the OFH. Though, it looks like the remnants of dog duty on the carpet of the hallway that runs by my apartment. It's time for a preemptive call to the administrator announcing “not my dog.” The first book from Ann Patchett’s, Parnassus Bookstore arrived. It’s engaging from page one. It’s also perfect timing because I’d just finished Cloud Cuckoo Land. Posts on Facebook tell me I’m not the first to have read the later. Though, I may be among the first to read the new arrival because it’s copyrighted 2023! More about it later.

I should have tried to climb Mt. Fuji was I was stationed at its base, though the trail may have been closed for winter.
