January 2: I am carrying a book around in a tote bag. The book is wrapped in brown paper. A group of very amiable people are playing a game as I wander toward and away. They are guessing: What book is in Linda’s bag?

Finally, I look down and see there’s a tear in the paper. The book's title is revealed: THE POSSIBLE

The people are pleased with me. That's their guide book, the book that defines their group.
