1. I have had some bouts of insomnia lately. Today, I strolled down to the State Farm office with a simple and easy question and then walked to the ATM a little ways on down Cameron. I walked home.
Miraculously, this very modest amount of walking helped me sleep through the night, interrupted only by occasional trips to the loo or by Copper talking to me periodically through the night more than he usually does.
2. Fresh, not garden fresh, but fresh, crisp, flavor packed vegetables tossed together in our largest bowl are the foundation for a salad that we can keep adding more vegetables to and right now this salad is ready for additions after I enjoyed two heaping and satisfying bowls of it for dinner.
3. Scott Taylor, a U of Oregon student of mine from back in the spring of 1982, has joined with other friends to revive a literary magazine they put out many years ago in Eugene entitled, Emergency Horse. Through Facebook, Scott and I have been in contact, and a while back, Scott asked me for my mailing address so that he could send me a couple copies of Emergency Horse and his book of poetry, ghosts and all. I look forward to reading both publications, especially because starting when he was in the writing class I taught on through reading pieces and looking at photography he's posted online, I've enjoyed and admired Scott's artistic sensibilities and his sense of humor. His wit is satiric, sarcastic, and I'd say absurdist. It works for me.
