It is hard to stop watching. But I have to stop. I haven't done a half an hour's work in days. Whenever I see anyone, anyone at all, I ask, "How are you doing?" And then, if I know them well enough to linger, I ask, "What have you heard?" We are all watching. And we are all gathering different stories. I am glutinous for stories. I do not want figures or theories. I want every single person's story. Gus works on homework from 3:30 to 10. He's having as hard a time concentrating as I am.
