On Wednesday my nurse Renato looked thoughtfully at the walls of my living room and said, "You must like The Lord of the Rings."

I could hardly deny it.

When he was first here, he did a double-take to see the dragon on top of my harp. "What is it?" he asked.

Today he looked thoughtfully at the Rosemary Spragg relief of "North Portal, Chartres Cathedral" on my wall and asked what it was. Then he looked at my copy of The Rose of Versailles and said, "This is a Japanese book?" I explained - briefly and simply, I hope - what it was.

Then he said, "I've never seen an apartment like yours. I've been to a lot of places, but yours is different."

I hope he meant in a good way.

I don't think he's used to fannishness.

I had to stop to think whether I've ever been in Powell's. No, I think not. But I've heard much about it and always wanted to go there. I have enough trouble here with a mundane Chapters or two, and amazon.ca at my fingertips.

Powells is one of those places that shouldn't be real. It always reminds me of Pratchett's L-space. No orangutans, though.

I have to go to Powell's one day. It's legendary!
