Escape ~ David Sedaris & Pumpkin-Date Bread

Physical limitations narrow one's means of escaping the nastier realities of life. Two of my most effective methods these days are cooking and listening to audio books. I love David Sedaris and have listened to his audio books often enough to recite many of his pieces right along with his narration. His latest work "When You Are Engulfed in Flames" was even better the second time around.

My oven is preheating, my mixing bowls and ingredients for pumpkin-date bread are on the kitchen counter, the volume turned up on David Sedaris. I am escaping today.
