Back at My Desk
Various commitments drew me away today.
Not only can I now attend to desk work, but I can also continue with The Simplification of My Office.

First Paragraph
August, 1931 - The port town of Veracruz is a little purgatory between land and sea for the traveler, but the people who live there are very fond of themselves and the town they have helped to make. They live as initiates in local custom reflecting their own history and temperament, and they carry on their lives of alternate violence and lethargy with a pleasurable contempt for outside opinion, founded on the charmed notion that their ways and feelings are above and beyond criticism.
- From Ship of Fools by Katherine Anne Porter
