I was thinking

This blog gets its name from "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty" by James Thurber. The quote goes like this:

"Things close in," said Walter Mitty vaguely. "What?" Mrs. Mitty said. "Did you get the what's-its-name? The puppy biscuit? What's in that box?" "Overshoes," said Mitty. "Couldn't you have put them on in the store?" "I was thinking," said Walter Mitty. "Does it ever occur to you that I am sometimes thinking?"

I wonder whether it ever occurs to anyone. And it's true, things do close in.
