The 20th Anniversary Miami Book Fair International has been going on all week, but the street fair portion starts today and ends Sunday. I worked there with the Boynton Beach City Library many, many years ago. I think it was the 3-4th annual, if the timing is right. I met some really nice people there at the time, including Ron Wiggins, who was one of the only reasons for me to read the Palm Beach Post’s Accent section as a teenager. I’d really like to go this weekend, but I’m not up to that level of milling around for hours and hours yet. A pity, because Will Eisner is going to be there, and he’s always a fascinating speaker. Other folks that are attending that I’d like to hear from are Garrison Keillor, Dave Barry, and Carl Hiaasen… Highly entertaining people who can give any writer great ideas and handy tips on the field. It’s something not to miss, if you can help it.

From the palm, I chase after Sauron on my walker. (drawn in the waiting room at the doctor’s this morning)
Haiku to celebrate –
Movin’ Right along
Sauron’s Eye of Evil Laughs
He owes me five bucks.
During my nap earlier, I dreamt my sweetie was wearing an eye-patch and kissing me like crazy. Works for me! I didn’t find the eye-patch unusual at the time… I feel it was just costuming.

I’ve returned from having the staples out… didn’t hurt a bit, only one even pinched at all on removal. I think that the bandage glue was more irritating to me than the staples were. I now have a row of butterflies there that will come off over time as I wash. I took pictures, but the shots don’t really show anything special, so I won’t bother hosting or posting. But I did get a shot of Newt getting all in the camera, so I’ll throw that in. The sounds of the staples coming out were not unlike someone clipping overly long toenails, and tossing the chaff into a plastic cup.

Snapped awake out of a sound sleep at 3am, my body refuses to rest anymore right now. Is it because it’s doctor day? I don’t know, but I’m bright eyed and bushy-tailed, almost as if someone sneaked a shot of b12 into my system when I wasn’t lookin’.
Well, I’ve surfed a little, and I’ll try and get a spot more snooze-time in before the trip.
