A man in a gray suit drinks coffee and eats a confection.<\/p>\n
Outside, the streets are shrouded in clouds.<\/p>\n
A man describes his recent breakup. They’ll split custody of the dogs but he has to move.<\/p>\n
I haven’t slept much in 48 hours. I am feeling a lassitude.<\/p>\n
The writing is going well, new breakthroughs. Writing for dogs, writing for life.<\/p>\n
Madness has descended upon me. But I remain sane. I will never lose my comportment.<\/p>\n
The barista looks vaguely Gothic.<\/p>\n
Beards and sideburns reign here. I shaved my beard after five months of growth.<\/p>\n
Hank Williams plays. His plaintive voice still gets to me. How does one write the way he sings?<\/p>\n
Perry Mason with Dad. Perry fights injustice, venality and conventional wisdom. He wins.<\/p>\n
Rosemary in bloom catches my eye. Nothing like rosemary branches burned in a burn barrel and that fragrance.<\/p>\n
The Bonnie and Clyde book just passed 40k in words. It is off the leash, galloping. It is moving like a dog on an Oregon Coast beach after a long imprisonment in an animal shelter.<\/p>\n
All my recent attempts at rapprochement have failed. I think I should probably give up.<\/p>\n
