dark so early

twenty-seven years and one million words

Vancouver, 2002.01.06

It's 5:15 and there's still light in the sky. It was another really beautiful sunset tonight. But the fact that it's so early makes me wonder how folks cope with the 8 weeks of night in the far north.

At some point during my early tenancy, my front hall closet door started to fall apart. Two or three days ago, I put in word with the building management that there was a problem. Today the manager and I fixed the thing. Happily, I had the tools for it. But even better was that there wasn't any hassle. Ah, so glad to be out of large cities!

If you want a golden rule that will fit everything, this is it: Have nothing in your home that you do not know to be useful or believe to be beautiful.
