Every time I read something of Rekdal's, or hear the news, I'm filled with envy and pride--so much talent in someone who works hard for amazing results.

Do you have a dog? I built a little thing that I'd like some private feedback on. DM me and I'll send you the URL :)

My wife brought me a slice of warm bread and a pat of butter. I am loved. My world a gesture.

My son called with good news. As a parent to adults, I can ache for contact. Sometimes love is joining the backup team.

It is a very nice author website, simple and strong.

Discovering Turbina. Thank you @poemakontsa for the ways you assist me. On their way are Fedirici's book (Italian), and Feinstein's First Draft. When I'm ready, I'll push my weak Bulgarian and Bosnian into Ukranian to experience Turbina closer to the source. Turbina is important.
