Monday. Stair climber not working again. Chris due to show after noon. Same as three days ago. Shows number 2 on the window but switches to 3 as soon as we try to go down. Reading day. Willow up in the blue chair. Towels washing. Rachel is able to do Wednesday. Maybe I will finish Schattenfroh today or tomorrow. What would Robert Lax do? What would Dennis Brock do? Wait. Appointment reminder for George Culler showed up on the watch this morning. October 13, same day a year ago that Annie Dessertenne died (if info correct). Not noted on the family photo calendar. Just pre-registered for the Telehealth visit with Culler. Acorns dropping have been making a racket past few weeks. Dry. Drought. Hot today, will reach high 70s even 80. Kim and Owen should be in Albq from last night. Every morning the same questions about the headaches. Is it the caffeine, lower or higher, is it the adaptogens in the mushroom dusts, is it too much water or too little? Is it butterfat or peanut butter fat? Is it something in the granola or the fruits, either the dried fruits in the granola or the fresh fruits layered on top or within the granolas? Today it was a few slices of pink lady apple. Is it the chocolate itself in the adaptogenic cacao powder added into the water? Is it the yogurt? The yogurt mixed with a bit of milk? The zero yogurt or the yogurt with 1% fat or the other one with the 2% fat? Am I sounded yet just a little like the narrative voice of Schattenfroh? By page 828 surely I should be able to mimic it just a bit. How much longer is it than Infinite Jest? could one even compare them. Deep Vellum has not published exactly what Font it is using in the printed edition. The name of the book designer is given, I could look it up once again if I wanted to put that here. But if I google Infinite Jest, how many pages will it say? Should I go onward and backward and commit myself to reading Burton's Anatomy of Melancholy at last? 1079 the number google gives for IJ. 1300 pages as an average for modern, full editions. The mark of odd beauty pulls all glyphs from the printed page. 829 So much fun he has with the antique details of the old printing process, including the making of the lead type. Makes me realize that of course because of Martin Luther the printing of books is essential to the national characters and histories of the Germanic peoples because Luther printing his books and translations liberated all of Central Europe and before it Germany from the imperial crowns of Rome. The Reformation and its wars and slaughters created modern Germany and Europe as surely as Rome before it created post-Athens Europe. The delegator, the deletion mark in proofreading. Just as I pulled the micro-ed mushroom and spinach pasta from the oven, Chris from National Mobility phoned and walked to the front door. He is wrangling with the lift as we type. Will he have a solution to keep this from happening in the future? Will be buy a new lift? This one is five years old.
