The cozy bookstore is becoming extinct. The feel and smell of newsprint is unknown to anyone under 30. My poor Olympia typewriter sits dormant in its case, but I won’t give it up. It pains me to even bother, But I have received encouragement, like it or not.  I will try to keep to relevant topics. As of April 30 2008 I now accept comments. I used to shy from politics, but my man Obama is hombre superior, so I rejoice in my voice.
