writing from beauty

I am currently sitting at one of my Top 3 Most Beautiful Places In the World, According to Mo, the Montague Book Mill in Montague, Mass. I would even put the waterfall at the Sawmill River, where the mill is situated, a few pretty-points higher than Paradise Pond. It is that breathtaking.

It's about a half hour drive from the Ladycollege, a few towns north of Amherst and a gorgeous drive up a two-lane road past several farm stands and old-timey New England houses. And tobacco fields. And UMass off in the yonder.

I had an unfortunate incident in which I got locked in the Book Mill bathroom and had to pound on the door until someone rescued me. I laughed about it. Now I am sitting outside with a cup of white tea purchased from the Neutral Milkish Lady Killigrew cafe. They were even playing mournful oompah dirge music, in the spirit of NMH.

I don't know that I'm learning much about how to manage a reunion. The reunion kids, rightfully, just want to have fun and hang with their friends. I'm guessing if they were to take the time to write me a concise post-mortem e-mail (don't count on it), I could learn just as much. I did hear some grumbling from the vegetarians who were upset about having to pay $40 for a tofu dinner. We will make sure not to do that.

I fear it is raining again. I must put my pooter away. Frowny.

SO BEAUTIFUL!!!

I love your description of NMH as "oompah dirge music."
