But then I thought about some of the people I know, who have made their own adaptations to what I might consider “normal” routines. And so he could sleep in fresh sheets every night without the pesky task of making the bed, he sewed the sheets into envelopes that could just be placed atop the mattress.īy page 15, I was ready to give up reading. He also washed his clothes daily (with his feet) while taking his shower. He began optimizing his life by systematically rethinking and reorganizing his routines, like keeping a popcorn popper and an electric percolator connected to a timer on the bedroom windowsill, so he could awaken to the aromas of coffee and popcorn, his new standard breakfast menu. In fact, his behavior could only be described as bizarre. Macon Leary’s wife had left him after the death of their only son, and Macon wasn’t coping very well. One day while browsing in my neighborhood bookstore, I found a $2.50 pre-read paperback copy and decided to see what all the fuss was about. The movie The Accidental Tourist had come and gone, and I’d never seen it. I discovered the novelist Anne Tyler in the early 1990s.
