Mystery

Determine to make progress on mystery this morning. Brew strong coffee, make toast (for energy), get grapes out of refrigerator and wash in collander. Eat one grape, which is firm very sweet. Sit down in front of computer. Go back to kitchen and eat many, many grapes--promise self that each grape will be the last and that after this grape, can go sit down and really get to work. At end of binge, see that collander almost empty. Feel slightly uneasy. Grapes unarguably healthy, but recall saying about too much of a good thing. Behavior also sure to have digestive reprecussions. Sit down in front of computer still feeling hungry. As writing, key element about Judy's past becomes clear, illuminating her current behavior, which is very devious. Judy has become favorite character, mostly because she is so bad. Feel that prejudice for naughtiness does not reflect well on self and spend rest of morning feeling ashamed in strange way. (Buddhist Koan: Is there such a thing as too many grapes?)
