I thought it was great that you went to Boston - I probably wouldn't have it in me.
I got two books from Murakami this Christmas - the Birthday stories (not his book, but his selection, I think) and Blind Willow, Sleeping Woman (also short stories, right?).
What is funny is that they came from Liverpool because a relative of mine went there to see Porto (what a disaster for him) and also did some shopping.
The ways of the World...
2008 will be better, you'll see!
Happy New Year, fb...
I'm glad you got to visit too! What a super baseball game to have been at as well. You know, I had that and the weather all arranged ;)
