After a long campaign, I finally brought down Baal and saw Diablo II to its end. The fight was a real test and I enjoyed it, though the ending itself struck me as a touch silly for all the trouble it took to reach. In the afternoon I meant to make the community dumpster day, but the line ran on without any sign of ending, and I let it go rather than spend the day waiting. Better hours followed. I stopped in to see my grandmother and sat with her a while, which was the part of the day I was gladdest to keep. Later I wandered a plant nursery and found myself weighing a Catalina cherry tree for the backyard, still undecided, but the thought has taken root.
