Our library always has 40 something people at our Poetry workshops and I think my friends would come out in droves to meet you. I'm sure I have at least 10 friends who would want to meet you and get a book but more probably.

You can roll out a sleeping bag or sleep on the couch though. Or there's a hotel a quarter mile or less from my house. In the depths of winter, wouldn't it be nice to come out here? I can't help book you, though I do suggest Robbi N.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04881145195435485238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11539948.post-88462467811085193892011-08-15T11:15:19.652-04:002011-08-15T11:15:19.652-04:00Perfectly understandable to end something that was...Perfectly understandable to end something that was a big part of your life and then feel depressed--quite human.

I haven't bestirred myself to write anything, though I've been challenged. I'm disappointing my friend Lavina, who is looking for a writing buddy. <br />I'll probably loosen up some as soon as unemployment checks come in Robbi N.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04881145195435485238noreply@blogger.com
