Thanks Elissa Ball! I hope all my Seattle friends will come out for Sunday’s reading! Plus spend money at Open Books – we’ve got to keep our all-poetry-bookstore going!

I am not a fan of the ankle problem + shoe choices conundrum. I’ve got a couple pairs of heels I wear now, but it’s shocking how little time it takes to become unbearable. Sounds like you’re a smarter woman than I am.
Hope things look up soon!

Thanks Sara! My physical therapist literally had me bring in my shoes and gave some the thumbs up or thumbs down – she said for at least a year, no heels! Yikes! I miss them! (PS I am short.)

I’m having the same thing lately: the lack of spark. I keep waiting for something to happen! But, I keep writing at least something …

Jessie – that’s the important thing – that we keep coming back to the page. Right?
