« The price of Bush's non-diplomacy | Var. and sundry » 1:00 a.m.At 1:00 I found myself taking out a jacket, thinking about a hat, putting on my boots. Without ever deciding to, I took myself for a walk. I didn't walk far, or fast. Just out a half a mile, to a clearing and a view. There was something scary about making loud footsteps in thick snow in the forest in the night; I stopped every so often and looked and listened and scanned the shadows on the ice. The trees were bare, the moon was full — the shadows were interesting. I never saw anything. I turned around and came back. There was a high mound of snow at the end of the drive. I stood atop it, and stared at the moon; it burned its face upon my eye. I walked down and went inside.
