FEBRUARY
A month of cool drizzle and new birds

We finished reading Kafka as though he was bursting out of his little corner in Prague by growing old as a sage and strange as an animal. Jennifer turned 30 and felt like she would now grow into her skin. We climbed Mt. Si behind Seattle and still felt like youngsters trying to prove that we're not oldsters. We watched difficult movies with our friend Aaron and talked about them for hours in forgettable places around town. We ate crepes and talked about the future. We celebrated the Year of the Tiger and made awkward conversation. We played scrabble. We paid our taxes. Now we are going to read Virginia Woolf and buy airplane tickets.

I mixed these songs for February.

And these pictures too.
