Namaste loyal readers & cult affiliates I've been in the sticks for a lush three days. I'm staying indefinitely through mid-Septemberish. I'm certain a city sway will occur sporadically, New York City is irresistible on any day - summer is entirely something else. A friend of mine smiled at me a couple of weeks ago and said, "I'm glad you're from the country." Considering my current address and history with the town I love, it's not usually...
My return to blahg-ville has been hushed. Most of my time is spent with my latest book, so I haven't been much in the zone of blah-g. I've also been spending a lot of time with new people who have recently appeared in my life. The way that life goes in waves and peaks is certainly something that never stops, until we eventually kick it and float into the next realm. 1 September marks me being in Manhattan for six years.

That said, my bloody writing section of this page is still a disaster from when I had a tanty and tore it down. Lucky I'm being easy on myself, head shakes are all I can say about that. Soon to be sorted. Summer changes my entire world. The decade-ish I spent in Australia was warm...
Today is one of my favorites birthdays. Being a somewhat reclusive Writer, I keep a small tight, global crowd. In New York City, I've got a crew of three. Brooklyn gets a special shout out in the squad, and today is his birthday. Considering that I was dumping him around this time last year, it deserves even more merit that tonight I'll take him to a swank midtown restaurant and likely drop around five bills. I think part of what has made...
