Office sweet office

To my office early ... this is one of the moments I'll miss after retirement, coming in, running into colleagues in the hallway -- as a moment ago, a ten minute great conversation about Raymond Carver (I so seldom have the literary conversations I used to have regularly over coffee when my best friends were alive) -- out of the classroom moments. Maybe I can replace them somehow.

At any rate, should work on Overview and get back on that track but I have less energy now that I've learned what I need to know about marketing, and don't like what I see (although I understand it does work if that's your bag). I need to finish two more to wrap it up with 4 x3 anthologies. Then move on, hopefully to a new CJ adventure. New working title. CJ's Last Will and Testament.

Eager to get home and bake bread! Get to try my wheat barley, which I hope is good enough to become a staple. I only have one, caraway rye. I'd like three or four.

Well, stuff to do. Like get down a new poem in my head.
