From the "Lunchbox" journal - something about the book that I've been telling myself that I will write:
Ideas for chapters and metaphorical devices.
For example: plumbing.
I’m remembering the time that I soldered together the pipes for a new sink in the upstairs bathroom. The floor was out – I was running pipes through the joists. There were elbows and angles and couplings and valves. I remember counting the number of separate joints that were soldered – perhaps more than forty. When I connected the water and turned it on, there were no leaks. It was like I’d taken and passed a major exam.
