I have so many things going on in my head that I can write about none of them. Not right now, at least.

I will tell you about the spider.

We have more spiders here at the Jersey Shore than anywhere else I’ve ever been. Not just numbers, but variety. So it was not surprising or disturbing when one started crawling all over my monitor. For the most part, it kept to the frame, but it kept coming close to the screen. When Carolyn saw it, she suggested that maybe it would be interested in a moving cursor.

Sure enough, when it got to the edge of the screen, I’d move the cursor around in circles, and the spider would watch, fascinated, for a good number of seconds. Spiders can’t turn their heads, so it did this little dance to keep the cursor in view. Too bad it was dark in here – I would have filmed it. Maybe next time.
