This morning at the coffeeshop, I worked on an article about my favorite poet Franz Wright and his book Walking to Martha's Vineyard. This afternoon, I looked to buy the CD I Need You by Ill Lit (see post below). Just a few minutes ago, I happened upon an archived NPR interview with both Wright and Ill Lit. So sweet. These connections make my cry.

can I post some of your pics now and then on my ouruf.org site as the picture of the week? I'll credit your site and put it on there. I can't resist them. I put one up for you to see, but can take it down if you'd rather I didn't.
