Championship Sunday

The soccer game doesn't come on until almost noon, so I have the morning to get a few things done. Had a great dialogue scene in my head this morning. Need to get that down.

Yesterday was a good meeting with J., H's friend, about my book. She's well read with literary, as opposed to popular, tastes in books. Indeed we have similar tastes and spent a lot of time talking about Mailer, Baldwin, Bellow, Roth, Malamud, writers of that generation. She had more articulate flattery about my poems than I've heard, a bit overwhelming. She  thinks more of them than I do ha ha. It was fun to talk about writers I admire with someone who agrees with me.

Raining. Real rain, not the usual mist.
