There were pears on my front porch; the last fruits from our tree which we’d not given away. They sat there in a row where we’d placed them to ripen. They’d ripened fine, but they continued to sit while we all walked past them off to school, back from school, running errands, shipping packages, fetching [...] Being sick is no fun at all, but being excused from my regular rounds of Things To Do is kind of nice.
