# Alice Munro Was in My Car

Alice Munro has been in the back of my car for a couple of months now, and today she finally left.

Ok, it wasn’t actually Alice Munro, it was a huge banner for Alice Munro’s book (http://www.amazon.ca/exec/obidos/redirect?link_code=ur2&camp=15121&tag=somisguided-20&creative=330641&path=ASIN/077106506X/qid=1118797724/sr=8-1/ref=pd_ka_0). I kind of liked having Alice rolling around in the back of my car, but it certainly pissed off James. I don’t think he’s a fan, but then again, she was always getting in his way. “When is this leaving?” he’d say, not so much with a question mark, more with an exclamation.

My problem was only partly procrastination. I was going to take her to the library, but then I thought, the paperback is coming out and wouldn’t it be great to give Alice to a bookstore.

So Alice has return to her natural habitat, and now my car, and my heart, are empty without her.
