Solace
I don't have a whole lot to say, so I've been quiet. I really wish someone would just address the nation and pray.
I went to a poetry reading tonight--great KIP opportunity, but I didn't really have the "right kind" of project to work on. While listening, I came up with three opening lines. Maybe they'll be poems someday...when they grow up.
In no particular order:
I am
knitting
socks
Next:
I don't have to be sexy for you
And finally:
Knitting makes me invisible
That about does it.
On Friday at 5-o-dark-something a.m. I'm getting on a plane to Palo Alto. I'm headed to a Carnegie Institute something or other about grad school. I'll try to keep up with my blog reading and perhaps make a post or two. Of course, I'll be knitting.

I like, "knitting makes me invisible."

hi nita,
i don't know if you've heard of an radio show called This American Life, but it's an hour-long show with a weekly theme of stories, some real, some fiction, but always compelling. last week's show was a few katrina victims giving their side of the story. i listened to it twice. i can't say that it made me feel better, but it helped to clarify what i was angry and depressed about. and that helps too.
you can listen to last week's show at this site:

just right-click the "real audio" icon to save it to your desk top.
