My winter in Japan, just post-college, was kind of difficult, I remember. That's an emotionally difficult time for a lot of people, I was weighing the possibility of art school, then I got walking pneumonia. I was feeling pretty ragged and overwhelmed.

I had this persistent fantasy of quitting my job on the spot and going to Crete. The way I imagined it, I'd wake up with the sun in a tiny white plaster room, empty except for a narrow bed and a rustic crucifix on the wall.

Every day, I'd wrap up a lunch, and I'd walk through stony fields, up and down ravines. And I'd walk and walk, and I'd sit--just me and some sheep--and I'd eat a loaf of bread, cheese, olives, and drink a bottle of wine.

And I'd do this day after day until I'd forgotten how to talk, forgotten how long I'd been doing it.

Anyway, I have regular escape fantasies, but it's been a long time since I've thought about Crete.

Hah! I gotta say I miss chickens, my housemates in my old place had backyard chickens I'd take care of (a famously difficult task) occasionally, and I miss those pompous, idiot, egg factories.
