_________________ 5 18 pm pst [ and a new era begins ] And we are swimming in a sea of 2000. And we are all human and alive and once again doing our best to get by. We are naked. The small floor heater has a safety feature. It shuts off automatically after an hour to prevent fire. When it shut off today, the house was deathly silent. All four of us were reading. Matthew and I were on the couch, my mother was in the kitchen, and my brother was in the dining room. My ears rang with the sound of my mother turning a page. Matthew is absolutely addicted to Cryptonomicon, which I gave him to read several weeks ago. He won't stop until he has finished. I read the book back in May 1999.
