Read: "The Orphan Master’s Son" by Adam Johnson 

Watched: Doubt with Meryl Streep & Philip Seymour Hoffman

Composed this note for the ladies’ room: 'Who keeps wadding kitchen paper towels together and stuffing them into the bathroom stall toilet paper roll with the toilet paper? Is it some harebrained attempt to 'save' paper, in this case paper that someone took too much of, and then forced on anyone who had to use the bathroom?'

Laughed at: This epic battle

Ate: Ciobar, Italian hot chocolate that’s more like hot pudding in a cup

Listened to: Robert Coover read Italo Calvino’s story “The Daughters of the Moon”

Learned: Americans are split on whether to pronounce 'mayonnaise' as "man-aze" or "may-uh-naze"

Enjoyed: Hot bath with camphor and eucalyptus

Pithiness of the week: “If you run after two hares you will catch neither.” - Erasmus
