The most exciting thing that happened all weekend was that I shunned Atkins for exactly 24 hours and consumed ginger cookies, Sally Lunn bread, biscuits, muffins, and cornmeal coating.

24 hours later I am back and I do not regret it. Unless I end up gaining all my weight back, in which case I will regret it. But since I don't want that to happen, it won't. I like to get what I want.

The second most exciting thing was that during a lecture tour called "The Other Side", as a woman was urging us to visit a website about present-day slavery around the world, a couple behind her walked by with their great Dane, who was dressed as Superman. With a cape and everything: Superdog!

There were tons of dogs in Williamsburg. Everyone had their dogs out for Halloween weekend. I hear the weather in NY was pretty great; the weather in Virginia was fucking spectacular. The colours of the leaves blazed even in the dark. We celebrated our parents' 34th anniversary at the Kings' Arms tavern, where I had my peanut soup.

I got the following letter:

Dear Tavie,

Please stop staring at me.

Love,
The Moon

We left at 5 am this morning with moon and stars still bright and got into work just, ah, 15 minutes late or so.
