I could find some more time to write. I'm personally rooting for a 36 hour day.
I may have to actually give up and not have a spotless house prior to going to Pittsburgh.
Just don't tell my grandmother that I didn't scrub my house for three weeks before traveling for 3 days.
I'm looking forward to the trip - I don't know anyone in Pittsburgh except my publisher, Mike.
I like being a stranger.

Interview!
Kate Greenstreet interviewed me for Kickingwind.com and it's up today:
Go here: kickingwind.com - kickingwind.com - kickingwind.com
So that's fun.
My brother and his wife are in town and I'm going to try to squeeze them into some poetry readings, but I think I'm gonnna have to sneak up on them, like, O look this bar has a poetry reading going on...
I love this overcast weather, it makes me feel like I'm at the beach.
I thought Rigoberto Gonzalez was reading this weekend too, but I can't find it posted anywhere. Hm.
This is why I have to write things down.
I feel delicious. I just slept for 12 hours.
