My friend Doris once wrote, "Anywhere is within walking distance if you have enough time." I'd add, "Anywhere is a long distance if you have no idea where the hell you are." Yesterday I walked home from Victoria, through London squares I'd never been through. What should have been a 30-minute walk took over three hours as I walked a circular route around my neighbourhood. Then I came home, cleaned my room, and found a mouse that had crawled in between two suitcases and died.



Maybe he got lost too.
