I have a ton to get done before then, and I&#8217;m having a queen-size bed delivered this afternoon, and so there&#8217;s some chaos before we can get into the car and make a clean getaway.  But it&#8217;s certainly something to look forward to.  The craziness of the last couple of weeks (hell, months) can&#8217;t be overstated.  And things are just getting started.  The post-mortem of the reading continues, and I&#8217;ve been talking about it all week, with those who were there, friends and other audience members.  Not only did we do what we wanted to do (<i>exactly<\/i>), but things are moving forward.  Like I said: shit&#8217;s got its own momentum now.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, I can afford to go hole myself up in the countryside for three days.  The project will be there when I get back.  <\/p>\n<p>I found this photo online this morning and I can&#8217;t stop looking at it and falling into it.  It reminds me of Mark Helprin&#8217;s <i>Winter&#8217;s Tale<\/i>, and seems representative of what life feels like to me right now.  <\/p>\n<p>In the meantime, we&#8217;re getting the hell out of dodge!  To a green lush place beside a deep placid river.
