Turns out people did pretty poorly on the 7 question exam.I was anxious to see the grades. At the end of class she passes them back. I flip up the cover page, “An 84! Sweet!”

Flipped through the pages of Vanity Fair and read a great article about Grace Kelly. Beautiful lady.

Finished up Buddism today. We talked about “anatman” or the “no-self.” The way I’ve come to understand it is that there is no distinction between your pain and my pain it’s all our pain.

“I’m Ashley, A_S_H_L_E_Y, the Anteater!”

“I’m Hanezor, the horse!”
