OFF THE HOOK

I am so freakin excited. At the end of this month, the boy, the pooch and myself are taking a road trip. We're driving to The Grand Canyon, through Arizona and into New Mexico. We're going to be visiting friends in Albuquerque. I'm excited and nervous to travel with the baby (the dog), and love that neither of us have ever been to New Mexico. So it'll be a new adventure to share <3 I'm also looking forward to seeing The Grand Canyon. I feel really in the mood to marvel at something --- not in an EAT~PRAY~LOVE  way (hated that movie)  but in my heart's in a good place way and I'd love to feel it get a bit bigger....just at the sight of something. 

Also, we just booked our tickets to see David Sedaris LIVE at The University of New Mexico. I can hardly contain my nerd right now. I love David Sedaris. He is my most favorite writer in all the world : more than Rilke or William Carlos Williams or Neruda or Shakespeare---yes I know what Im saying.  If I were a man or had to be, I'd want to be David Sedaris. Actually I'd like to be him either way if at all possible. He's so incredibly witty and funny and sardonic....siiiiiiigh (hand to forehead). I heart him to death. This will be my second time seeing him and I CAN'T FUCKING WAIT!!!  Last time he signed my copy of ME TALK PRETTY ONE DAY, and said that he lived in my shadow. One can only hope to be so lucky twice.
