today i got the new lawrence weschler free of charge from the good people at knopf.
today i found a signed first edition hardcover copy of nicholson baker's The Mezzanine and a cheap used paperback copy of Carol Emshwiller's Carmen Dog at a book store that's going out of business and is having a sale.
today i found a few pints of the kind of beer my friend--who will be housesitting and caring for emmett while i go home to visit my folks this week.
today the founder of found magazine sent a story to me for the literary website i edit.
today i will read comic books before bed.
toay i will fall asleep on a bed...an actual bed...a real bed...the first i have been able to afford (though barely) since i left college.
today i have a new tattoo on my arm. it says "mom" and "pop".
yesterday i could take or leave. tomorrow is the same. today is okay.

Real beds are grossly underrated...Now you just need a puffy down mattress pad...
