i'm not sure what evil genius came up with peaches but he or she surely deserves a prize. i hadn't had one (..... .... .. ...... ..... .... .. .... ..) for some time before having one just the other day, and it was � unlike some really horrible plums i've had semi-recently � perfectly ripe and well-textured. it is a little weird how i much i forget about fruits when they are off-season. and i would like to add that i very much miss having someone in the car next to me. occasional groceries or a textbook and legal pad do not substitute well for someone i can shoot glances at or next to whose leg i can tuck my fingers. it sounds less troubling than it feels anyway.
