1. My poem Spelling "For Worse" is up at Goblin Fruit, in both text and audio formats.
1a. I am keeping right fine company on that TOC. :-)
2. Merrie Haskell wrote a novel called Castle behind Thorns. It's about to emerge, it has earned a starred review in Publisher's Weekly, and it will be a Junior Literary Guild selection. (Her second published novel has been collecting recommendations and awards, too, including "the 2014 Schneider Family Book Award winner for middle school for its depiction of a person with a disability.")
3. The Velveteen Rabbi will be reading her poetry in Jerusalem. I am so excited for her!
4. Making manuscripts reader-friendlier. Go me!
4a. Having the chops and experience to recognize typos (especially in Spanish) I wouldn't have caught five years ago.
5. Ripe cantaloupe and canned quail eggs. For when one works flat through dinner and then needs something that doesn't require cooking (i.e., stink up the kitchen) right before bedtime.
6. The sumo tangerine I picked up at a store last week. It was an indulgence, but it was also a great conversation piece, and I am about to candy the peel.
7. Having a dog that gleefully hoovers up vegetable scraps. (I am less enamored of her fondness for snacking on potting soil, but that's because it makes her wheeze.)
8. It is sunny and 55 F here right now. I'll be spending most of the day with spreadsheets, but I think I'll first sneak out for a walk.
9. Particle Fever! (And yes, I wore my CERN jacket to the showing.)
