Bob was going on and on about this book written by this guy. Jonathan Something Something. “It’s amazing. It’s language at its best.” It’s Everything is Illuminated. At the bookstore I bought that and his other book – Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close. They both were wonderful and the latter holds a special place in my heart.

I made an aprom (that’s like half the battle), I made a scarf with fun felt cut outs sewn on it (that’s like 40% the battle) and I’ve used a zipper every single day for YEARS now (10%). Hooray!
