There is a lot going on and a lot coming up in the next weeks. The Pulitzer Centennial, the NTGD, sculpture completion. I have to wake up to it. Engage + focus.
So I'm awake. It is about 3 a.m. Whose to start? The words don't come so easily here anymore. Wide awake. After 4 or 5 hours of sleep last night. Worries about the usual stuff - 29 Pieces related, and for bore with hearing myself say it all again. Focus in. Focus in. Focus in.

Day after 9.11.
Everything changed.
Long night's sleep.
Looking for my joy.
Had a dream about a Corgi puppy. In the dream, I was taken with the puppy but remembered how much Bryn shed and didn't want one.
