I got to meet Isabelle Hagey, daughter of my close friend Theresa. FINALLY! She is eight months, and so adorable. We had such a fun time together reading, eating, playing.





When you write you lay out a line of words . . .the line of words is a hammer . . .the line of words feels for cracks in the firmament . . .the line of words fingers your own heart . . .you wield it, and it digs a path you follow (Annie Dillard, The Writing Life)
