Four hours later, having gone through the Gap, Banana Republic, Calvin Klein, Bostonian, Polo Ralph Lauren, Movado, Borders (where I made my only purchase), Harry and David, Quiet Storm, J. Crew, Subway, Saks, and back to Banana Republic, Kelly finally finished shopping.

The book that I got is called The Scientists by John Gribbin. Its a history of science “told through the lives of its greatest inventors”. I’m taking it to the pool with me.

Did I mention its in the 80s out and we’re about to go swimming?
