Unwinding

Today I am in the P.S. 122 Classroom, sitting the gallery for Fauns and Shackles last weekend. The soft whir of Jody's chains is very relaxing. Here are some of the things I have done to unwind since sending off the manuscript, then hauling the 2 remaining copies (at a total of almost 30 pounds) to the office: 1) Bought the first lilacs I have seen this season 2) Gone out for a burger and Abita Restoration Beer 3) Bought cute summer shoes at Century 21 for $25.00 and 4) Gone to the gym for a long hard workout. Tonight I'm out for Indian food and a showing of "Thank You For Smoking."
