fell asleep after a bath--my apologies, rob. it'd grown late...so i randomly decided to cook dinner. roasted a sliced up butternut squash with a sage, rosemary, thyme, parsley, shallot combo; it was quite tasty. lightly burned the left side of my face opening the oven and getting a face full of steam, and set off the smoke detector (gah!)...but it was worth it. had it with the rest of the roast chicken and the last of the chilled wine and it was great. today, i will bake cookies. something involving chocolate. i could go seventy one days without seeing a human face, it feels like. shutter up the windows, pull down the bed, etc.
