Wow - thanks for reminding me to write. We were heading to a bar mitzvah in Boston and two weeks ago, the boy who was all set to be a man, was suddenly offered a new liver -- he had been in line for a transplant for a while. Everything was moved back to the weekend of April 20, 2018, so I won't be in Boston now, but I hope then. Also our Toronto-Boston Air Canada tickets were non-refundable. They were willing to give us $168 credit, but we'd have to pay $200 transfer fee to collect the $168 credit. No thank you. And I learned that airport taxes were half the $168 - and they will refund me $84 taxes, but not automatically. I filled in a form and will now wait and wait. sothundara, elizabeth, _refugee_ and humanodon onward. Elizabeth, I actually will be in Montreal on October 19th, but I don't think I have any time for a meetup. Maybe you can meet me at an event on Thursday night though. Let's IM. I'm amazed by your filmmaking and travelogues.
You talk great photos on the 'gram. I accidentally a p good poem the other day, I think. Otherwise, honestly, the writing's been on the slack. I did manage 16 pages of prose in about a week of a passionate nonfiction oriented go recently, I'm trying to see if I can keep that momentum going so have another nonfiction story I'm working on this week. Just on the top of the 4th page. This one's more difficult. I still don't know how I feel about writing in general and poetry in specific, but I guess also part of me is less worrying about it. I seem to still be a p good writer, whether it's prose, poetry, fiction, or nonfiction. And it definitely still seems to help me process. So I'm going to try to keep doing it. Besides that, man? Well...whatever. At least, that's my take on it tonight :)
Boston is a bit harder to get to but not impossible. About 6 hours by train. I also have a friend in Boston who's been trying to get me to visit. I also traditionally always take a week of vacation in October (and have a friend to visit in VT as well). It is not impossible. I am obligated to get drunk and read tarot on Friday the 13ths, that is all.
