Thursday

I'm going to confess two things, which will indicate what a laggard I am and also how gay I am.

This afternoon I got a call on my cellular from my editor. He wanted to know if I was working on that story I was supposed to be working on and when I'd be coming back to the office. I told him I was indeed working on the story I was supposed to be working on, but in fact I was playing Tiger Woods golf. I told him I'd be at the office in an hour, but I was only on, like, the fourth hole, and there were four people playing. So, yeah, maybe an hour. On the moon. You fucking know what I mean.

The temperature's been in the 80s lately. I was wearing my beloved cardigan sweater just a couple of weeks ago and now I'm walking around in mesh tank tops. Weather turns quick here in the Bay Area. And every year the same thing happens when spring turns to summer and suddenly the days are sunny and warm. It reminds of being 17, when I had a girlfriend named Susan, and my buds and I would play baseball every weekend until it got dark. I'm surprised that still happens.

Brightness Falls has been around since June of last year. I seriously didn't think it would last this long, and I'm completely baffled that people actually read it still. At any rate, if you're one of those six people who were visiting this site from the very beginning, you should know me pretty me well by now. The only way to know for sure, though, is to take a quiz. About me. Good luck.
