    Friday

    What is it with Fridays? Friday has a different quality than the rest of the week. As if, having jumped into an icy mountain stream, can hardly breathe. The body's outright refusal to fight gravity, struggle seemingly futile and sinking so much more natural than the effort to stay afloat. Stuck in the moment.

    A coffee and cookie costs $4.06. That is four dollars, five cents and a penny. A simple penny.

    It was a penny, as the joke goes, that was held by two Belgians (who are as stubborn as the Dutch). Neither of them willing to give up their right of ownership, they proceed to invent copper wire. Copper wire that connects and conducts, flowing from one to the other. Electric synchronicity.
