cryptic update

Yesterday I learned that I can hang around in my parents' living room for upwards of 20 minutes, which is a pretty big deal. Not only did I sit on 18-month-old leather furniture, but I did it near a wool rug, and all after a 14 hour car ride.

Today I learned that a bag of compost upwind of the tent is extremely bad news, and that put a pretty big crimp in things, so the only other thing I learned was that cherry pits won't kill you unless you work at it.
