upcoming coming up

Here's good news--my story, "The Junk," will appear in Your Impossible Voice sometime soon.

I'll also be reading from new work at Poetry First Thursday at the Couth Buzzard in February (unless I chicken out, which is possible but I really hope I don't). My buddy Russell hosts and cesario reads and sometimes Felix does as well.
There's strength in numbers, yes, and also terror.

happy new year!
(it's late, yes, I know)

should I (did I)

Reflecting on the year that's almost completed.
I know who I am and that's mostly good.
I have an idea of who I could be.
Of what I could do. It will take a lot of work to get there.
Some loneliness. Some lone-time-ness.
I hope to accept the scariness of what I'm about to embark on and do it anyway.
More soon. Today, I'm reflecting.

My gift to you--a couple of snaps from the local Kidd Valley. Those vinyl seats are so pretty!

It's Saturday! Man do I love weekends. Sleeping in, some cuddles, hot java, a run through cool mist to do some writing. I stopped in at ETG for coffee and said good morning to my barista buddies. To their credit it was solidly past noon and yet they did not blink, they just said morning and hooked me up with the uzhe, drip coffee, boiled egg, cinnamon roll. Hell yeah.
Some funnies here.
And just when I despair over fb, cool friends share the headsup on a couple of new to me bands: Disclosure and GRiZ.

sie haben miteinander etwas zu tun oder...?
