hi!
i'm sure that you'd all like to think i was off doing something important - that i saw the world, that i gave birth to children (ow!) that i wrote a book, and worked on my tennis serve.
i have done none of these things.
what i am doing is working, playing, and loving. work is good - i'm about to switch to weeknight shifts, god-willing - which will give my life some routine, oh god, please, routine.
it consists of a minor paycut but working consistently will help me save money. i think.
playing is good - i have friends, i have video games, i have books. i've started reading again, thank god. being without my book is catastrophic to me.
i'm in the middle of russo's "the straight man" which is brilliant - last week i finished peter canning's "paramedic" which was heartbreaking, insightful, and mostly true.
apple and i have seen more and more of each other lately - she's here next week. we're going to drink homemade cider and buy new hats.
when i'm not writing it means things are good. see, i like to complain.
being happy leaves me speechless.
your
brendan
