This morning I awoke to a few inches of heavy wet snow.  I dug out, rode my stationary bike, yadda, and then spent a couple hours agonizing over whether to send out a book manuscript and a couple more hours getting it ready to send out.

As I type I'm listening to Bo Diddley. In his autobiography Keith Richards has some interesting things to say about Diddley's guitar style, so I thought I should revisit the music.  Of course, any excuse to listen to this great musician is a good one.

I'm at yet another sticking point in Appearances.

Insomnia and weird serial dreams.  Lately I'm dreaming about moving through a post-flood landscape in which usually dead salmon fall from trees.  When he's unsure if they're dead or not Dream Tom examines them.

Increasingly my eyes and I's (personae) are all tired.

*

I'm 350 pages into Mark Young's magnificent poetry manuscript, the work of a master at the height of his power.

*

I should be posting a new interview at Ask/Tell before too long.  This one is with a psychologist friend.

Have I ever mentioned here that my wife is a psychologist?  On one of our first dates (back in the seventies) she told me that I should see a psychologist.

And then she became one!  Badda bing!
