California state of mind

My luggage - which went missing - has been found! The sun broke through! UCSD between terms is an oasis of calm - and every book is on the shelf at Geisel! A gem from Elie Wiesel (Messengers of God, 215):

There were those who claimed that Job did exist but that his sufferings are sheer literary inventions. Then there were those who declared that while Job never existed, he undeniably did suffer.

So even Job's enjoying a (perhaps unhealthy) change of air. And San Diego's own North County Repertory Theatre did a brilliant production of the musical "25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee." A hoot!
