I’m a Magpie
1. Allowing myself a weekend off, even if it means that this Grace in Small Things thing is protracted over 365 weekdays. 2. Finding my other orange argyle sock in the dryer, after I’d given it up for lost. 3. The way that Shelby-dog clambers up onto my chest when I lean down to greet him. 4. Listening to sad songs with poet friends after a reading. 5. A cold night in San Francisco, with luminous clouds on the horizon |
I'm a librarian. Special skills include dog charming, brochure writing, slapdash cooking and long-winded nattering. I also enjoy watching the sunset's reflection in the tall buildings downtown.
For a while there, I taught classes on Classical literature, philosophy, and the history of religion at New College of California. I have an MA and an MFA in Writing, and live on a boat in Sausalito, CA.

There is more joy in heaven over the lost sock that is found then over the 99 socks safe in the drawer (note 99 is an odd number so one of those 99 is particularly happy)
