Maybe a tiny bit
Yesterday Hugo and I rode our bikes from Hercules, across the Carquinez Bridge, into wherever you are when you cross the Carquinez Bridge (Vallejo, probably). The plan is to ride to Davis this summer. I don't think we're on track for that. It's going to take a while to work up to it.

Viable option
All my creative pursuits are pretty lonely endeavors. Would be nice to hang out with someone other than myself once in a while...
I think she just needs to laugh
I saw a picture of a grade school friend online today, and, as much as I tried, I couldn't reconcile it with the person I knew...

Not the most expedient route
JANUARY 27, 2017 - Saw Michael Chabon last night at BPC. Really good talk/interview. The interviewer was an NPR correspondent who had spent time in Iraq, among other places. I asked a question at the end about the organizing principles he uses when approaching a book.
Be where you are
DECEMBER 14, 2017. Was up until 2:00 or so last night. I like working late when I get a second wind. With everyone else asleep the energy is definitely different.
The razorblade method
Before my mom got married she worked at Kaiser Steel in Fontana as a secretary, where she did a lot of typing of letters, memos, and forms. The method of correcting errors at the time was to use a razorblade to scrape the ink off the page.
Thank you for your interest
Just because a fear is irrational doesn’t make it any less powerful.
Inevitable question
they were shaped like pencils. blue, with a white line along each edge. their erasers were so coarse they would rip the paper when you tried to use them. there were 12 in a box. the box was sitting on a table in the classroom...
Maybe she's trying to tell me something
A bird has been pecking at my window for the last week or so. First it was annoying, then I got curious: "Maybe she's trying to tell me something". Then it got annoying again.
