hours like sparrows


My story "The Peaches Are Cheap" has just gone up at Hobart. It originally appeared in Monday Night, a lovely journal out of the San Francisco Bay Area. Now other people in the world--in cities that start with San or don't--may read it. Or may not. Mayn't?

It's a sad story; the characters could solve their existential crises if they just fried their peaches in a caramel sauce. Losers.

Thanks, dude!

You're probably glad for SF right now--this ice storm shit is bonkers.

it's chilly over here, but, yeah, not bad. the only real regret i have in deciding not to move out of SF and to the east coast is that i'll still not have *real* seasons. i would really like to have real seasons--you know, 4 very distinctive times of year. that would be nice.

le sigh.
