so then i picked up neighbor george and since i can't sleep i'm already at page 91. it happens to be by point reyes in marin county where i've been. it's mysterious, something's going on there and the narrator is drawn into the mystery i was going to say haplessly but she knows more than she yet knows. it's by victoria nelson who wrote the secret life of puppets i think i have back at the studio apartment. she writes about the mystery.
