A Card Catalog

Weep no more, little love-notes, your shoebox homes are safe from Dewey's decimals.

I have found a prettier way to index.

Dorm living, senior year of college. This must have been before I inherited a large spotted bunny from my friend Stanley’s dorm-mate. Lily had been keeping the pet (her first) in a closet from the time it was a small ball of fluff, but when I got it bunny was the size of a fat cat. Every time you came home from class there she’d be, grunting and looping around the room like a desperate rutting moose with lop ears and a cotton tail. We had to rig up a special waist-high baby fence to take up all the floor space and keep her from boxing my other bunny (did I mention there was another bunny in the room? also a large bookshelf pantry full of food, and a no-pets rule) on the ears. How did I ever get any work done?

An excellent day in Ana Clara, Punta del Este.  I must have been around five.
