We had the young pine tree removed. It was too close to the house. I nurtured that babe from a seedling. I feel like a monster.

Simon gave a man pushing a cart of his belongings, and rambling incoherently, a dollar outside the Ralph’s. I felt proud of him until then man said, “I’m going to shoot all the n-words I see,” only he didn’t say n-word. That would have been weird.

Ada and I wanted to attend the Crumb opening last week and, though we both were excited to see his drawings, neither of us wanted to deal with the crowds. Later, we were surprised to hear the cartoonist was there. “Are you sad you didn’t get to meet him?” Ada asked. I said, “No!”

We drove all the way to Westchester for a poetry open mic. Helena read this great poem and I bought the new Thomas Pynchon novel. The cover image and the epigraph quoting Bela Lugosi from “The Black Cat” clinched the deal.
