I have now caught up with your writing in this journal. Always such a pleasure as I feel connected to you when I read your writing and also because it is such a beauty of word painting.

The Sputnik and your "last dollar" made me chuckle. It is fun to have some place know your "usual". That's what happens to me at Speak Easy, especially when Scott is there. He knows exactly!

And whatindeed does make the ginko all drop their leaves in unison?

Thank yo for continuing to write and to let me (us) read it.

Love......

After that strange event, whose precise date
remains a secret of earth's rotation,
those who walk beneath the bare-limbed creatures
might collect this mysterious bounty
between the blank pages of a notebook,
marveling at nature's ancient riches.
