So, I just finished And Then You Die, by Iris Johansen, and consequently found a 10 guilder bill towards the back.  It's from the Netherlands, and is no longer legal tender (since '02).  In order to exhange it for Euros, I'd have to go to the Netherlands' bank and explain why I haven't exchanged it earlier.  Unlikely.  I'll probably put it in a scrapbook- I like tokens from different countries.  The crazy thing is that a main theme in the book is counterfeit money that it laced with a mutated virus that kills people within hours of exposure.  I wonder if whoever put it in there thought of that, or if they had used it as a bookmark and forgotten it.  I think it's rather funny.

I think that the morning drive can be one of the best blessings.  It's still been very grey waking up.  It's so hard to get out of bed to that- it's just not motivating.  Lately, though, just a few blocks up the road, I see the sky clearing, a beautiful morning sun, and everything seems to be glowing and alive.  After awhile, it turns gloomy again, but doesn't life in general just do that sometimes?  (maybe not for everybody- maybe it's just me not seeing the beauty and significance of every moment)

Wonderful Freecycle has set me up with a coffee table this evening.  It may not be a perfect match- I mean I don't like coffee, but I don't expect too much of something I'm meeting from the internet.  I'm guessing he's a quiet type.  I've been told he's 20s to 30s.  He's a maple color, and would rather stay in the area than move with his family south.  I don't blame him- it's pretty nice here, and maybe there's termites down there- a good reason to avoid it.  I don't know what he expects from me- I plan on being good to him and keeping him clean, but he still might end up with some new dents or stains.  I wonder what his name is?
