The new novel is coming along nicely and undergoing progressive shifts and evolutions. I am pleased. I am doing more percolating than actual writing this last week or so, but that’s how I always work. 


I hate VW buses. I have my reasons. 


I picked 4.5 pounds of blueberries today while my dogs ate a fair amount off the low branches of the bushes. We barely made a dent in this year’s crop. 


East coast thunderstorms are no joke. 

awesome: 

Korean dumplings
really good reading glasses
memories attached to pleasant scents
songbirds 
the paper edition of the New York Times
fake names
fresh, blank notebooks
Joe Biden
fireworks fireworks fireworks

non-awesome:

shitty reading glasses
global tragedy fatigue 
chronic fabulists 
bands who talk too much between songs when playing live
unsettling dreams that haunt the next day
