Thursday October 10, 2013  At Steeple People Thrift Store, found a manbag which I liked better than the one I'd been using.

Across Lyndale Avenue to the Wedge Coop.

***Among the new books at Central Library, found:  Paula Guran, The Mammoth Book of Angels and Demons.  (Mammoth is the publisher; unfortunately, none of the angels or demons are mammoths.)  Recommended; theological accuracy not guaranteed.

***I arrived at the Adult Children Anonymous meeting place with a large backpack.  Someone remarked that I was obviously prepared for any emergency.

No, I said.  I only had one elephant gun.

Friday October 11, 2013  The Star Tribune had an article on the upcoming Zombie Pub Crawl.  The Brain Eating Contest will use veal brain tacos, which I'd never heard of before.
