It may seem improbable, but some things can make a girl miss the Crossroads of America. Alas, a Ballooning In Indiana postcard isn't one of them. Thanks anyway, Miguel!

p.s. CNN on my mobile telly just informed me that Saul Bellow recently passed, and though I can't claim to have been an avid reader up to this point, I can claim that Lana Crandall gave me Sieze the Day for my 15th birthday, and I always liked it, despite it being kinda melancholy.
