I sent out a manuscript today. There it goes, on email wings. They want a hard copy too. This comforts me. Then I spent a long time at 3rd Place Books. Just to be around them. The smell. The feel of books in my hands. The lovely pages. I bought Ginsburg's Howl which I owned in aught '68. It was only 7.98. Just right. In the rain.

I keep seeing a book about the Howl trial when I go to this one specific bookstore. I keep picking it up. I know I'm going to get it but I'm not sure which visit. It is there every time I go like it is waiting for me.

It is waiting for you. Do it. You won't be sorry.
