                I was told the street where my niece had moved into a house. I made a game out of it. “Which house is it?” At first, one might think they have no idea. But let’s think about this. It was easy to narrow it down. First off, she would not have a truck, or a jeep, or a van.

            Today, I went swimming in Ankeny. during the 10 minutes when those people under 18 were not allowed to swim, I did laps in a roped off area. I timed myself doing half a lap, thinking I was swimming at a generally good pace.

This time is several seconds quicker because I stopped halfway up to deposit a bag and some flowers in my room. I ran this morning to my friend’s place so we could go to the post office together where I would re-register my visa.
