Dawn: I thought you were adequate. Giles: And the accolades keep pouring in. I'd best take my leave before my head swells any larger. Good night.

Because books.

Our wings are not tired.
Okay. This is something I'm working on about the day I buried my dog.
The weed-strewn cliff broke right beneath my toes and I peered down into the dancing white caps and thought, this is just right. I shuddered as the wind hit me again, icy fingers at my neck, strangling me. Three layers of clothes and yet the chill penetrated with a force that matched only the sharp pains in my heart.
I took a step back and eyed the landscape. Searocket, curly dock and sea fig dot the plateau, and shrubby willows offer nothing against the wind; they are beaten and worn. Another rush of wind and sand jags me in the eye and I curse. 20 feet from the cliff is about right. The coarse sand gives way to dirt, good to dig in.

You don't think I'd stop with the parking spaces, do you?

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Also, you have to send me chocolate. (Or Graeter's....)
Not anymore...

Of course not. They're mere tokens of your megalomania.

I just need a Pinky to run around fetching garden hoses and live chickens and such.

When Julia gets her working papers, I'll send her your way.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
I got to see a performance by Baxter Black yesterday evening. It was great fun, and I laughed so much that tears were running down my face.
I only mention it in this thread because of what happens afterwards. Baxter Black pre-signs the books he sells after the show, but he adds personal inscriptions, and the interesting thing is that he writes them upside-down and backwards so the customer can see it as he writes. It comes out really neat. I wonder how long it took him to develop the skill. I didn't get a chance to ask.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
(poking head in, because it occurs to me I hadn't shared this, and then back out)
So, it looks as if Andy Summers - guitar player for the Police - may be blurbing the Kinkaids. We got to talk at his Haight Street signing. His editor has offered to forward anything I send, and Andy wants to read.
So, there's that.
Back to work.
