More Blogs!
Good Lord! New Funkytown blogs are popping up faster than Divine can lick poo off the sidewalk (that's for you, L-bo). Click on them over there in my Blogroll >>> and enjoy.
What's new at the Manly Rural Writing Residency:
1. Bunnies courting. I watch them from my studio window. They touch noses, hop straight into the air, disappear for a while, and return smoking cigarettes.
2. Taxidermy. People really go for that here.
3. N, a filmmaker and scrabble-playing genius, taught us this immortal line from the Patty Duke Show theme song: "A hotdog makes her lose control."
4. "Brokeback Mountain" (the story) was written here, in this very writing retreat. Or around here. Maybe. Anyway. I read the story in my studio and sobbed uncontrollably for an hour, as I did after seeing the movie. Oh, the thwarted lives. The thwarted loves.
5. Writing. Yup, doing that too.

Hey,
I found out you were away from The Chickarina. When you return, if you call me for breakfast or lunch (or even coffee while I earn my way back up,) I will:
1. Apologize profusely and sincerely for I feel so terrible as to dread doing anything about it.
2. Mark it in a calendar, my hand, and send myself an email.
3. Be there. On time. With exasperating stories and big ears about all your adventures. Seriously, I would love to see you and the depression is better enough this week to make me feel like I can
a. remember
b. show up
You're near my old stomping grounds, ENJOY!
