The Tap's Run Dry
Went out to water the nursery today, but only drips came out of the nozzle. Don't know where to find the valve to get things running again. Just wish I could find that valve. Wrap my fingers around the enameled metal fitting. Give it a firm twist. But until then, only drips.

Day 52
This week has been something of a roller coaster ride for me. So much so that I ended up writing an e-mail to Mr. David Hathwell, retired AP English teacher.
I think it's a good exercise: having an audience in mind to scrutinize my writing forced me to pare down my words using to the sharpest analytical tools I have available to me. I ended up answering a lot of my own questions because of the clarity with which I approached each source of frustration. I considered not sending the e-mail to him, since the process of writing itself helped me work through my problems. But I still want to thank him.
Thanks, Mr. Hathwell.
