Day 59

Taking the evening off to go to "The King's Speech" after grading this morning and starting to look through letters from 25 years ago -- such a strange and wonderful process. I am so lucky to have kept all the letters and cards people sent me over the years. Trying, in reading them now, to watch myself from a distance and understand my particular attachments and detachments.

Started Joyce Johnson's memoir about her life with the Beats. Her teenage desires and hang-ups are strangely (or not so strangely) similar to mine. Plus ca change, as the saying is, plus c'est la meme chose (add your own accents!).
