More San Fran, Moving, Pics, Video to Come

I thought you might want some visuals from our San Francisco weekend at LitCrawl. Here’s me in front of my hotel window right before the reading – you can see the Bay Bridge in the background! That’s what I look like with glasses on, by the way – and I have to wear glasses or I can’t see my poems! And then a cell phone pic of the Japanese Gardens at Golden Gate Park with the sunshine in the background – a heavenly place indeed! (Though it took us two hours to get out of the park and to the Golden Gate Bridge – apparently San Fran didn’t want to let us go!)

There is a rumour that a very nice gentleman from Fourteen Hills may have taped my reading and may be sending me a link to it, so I’ll post it when I get it! Isn’t it nice when things like that work out?

I’m in a frenzy of moving preparations, taking down pictures, stuffing clothes and books into boxes, donating food to food banks. We’re having a bizarre heat wave, in the nineties all week, so we’ll be moving from a place where the roses are still blooming, butterflies are still fluttering, it-s-still-too-hot-to-go-to-the-park-til-after-6, where the vineyards are just barely turning colors, to the rain-soaked, fifties-to-sixties Northwest wintertime in just a week. It’s like moving seasons instead of just locations.

On an unrelated note, I think I’m going to write a little essay about women writers and ambition. Maybe I’ll wait til after all the boxes are gone to think about that, though. Back to stuffing boxes!
