Out, out

Reading and reading and reading these days. Trying to keep the chin up. Still feeling a bit sore in the old liver and shadow. But I hope with so much concentration I can wait it out. Read it out.

Or sometimes, like Tuesday's bluegrass dinner party I think maybe I can play it out. Pick it out.

Or counting plants in the Plant Biology greenhouse, I think maybe I can smart it out, tucking the empty hours into the USDA, into plant nutrition text books, into identifying trees.
