It is late and- like I do on too many Friday nights -I bailed ship earlier than my friends. They are still out carousing; raising some roof I’m sure. Hopped up on a few glasses of wine (that would normally make me sleepy) I stopped by my computer en route to my bedroom, to check the things I check when tooling around on the Internet. Today I became a subscriber of Writer’s Almanac. It gives a daily dose of poetry and literary gossip, as in today is Amy Bloom’s birthday. Amy Bloom is an author and a psychotherapist, a natural point of interest for me.
I've had a big day: some good news and a carnival of thoughts and ideas spinning right round baby right round, like a record baby...in my little noggin. Do you know those days?
I’ll bid goodnight with this resounding quote from Amy Bloom: "Some of the traits that led me to be a psychotherapist are the ones I find in myself as a writer. I've spent a lot of time listening to people, and I am endlessly intrigued by relationships, particularly by the gap between what people say and what they truly feel, and the gap between what they do and what they really want."
Ms. Bloom, I concur.
More to come on some fabulous books I’ve recently read and others I currently have on the drawing board. Yawn. (Anybody want to take my dog out? I is tired.)

I do know those days - happy thoughts swirling make for a whirlwind dream sleep. Have a happy day Angela!
Ahh. The Writers Almanac! I have been a subscriber for years... and nothing makes my day brighter than starting it off listening to Garrison Keillor! He is a genius, that man is!
