The Furious Spinner

Like any novice in the Church of the Old Mermaids, I am good at treading water. The root canal is healing well, but the pain shifted to my back. I'm tired of my misery, so I'm sure you are. I'm taking some time off to rest. The world is spinning on without me. I haven't the energy to discuss the Emperor and all that is happening. It goes as it goes. I'm even going to try not to write or think up new novel ideas.

It's been raining and is supposed to continue raining. My intention is to relax with a pile of books. Here's what's in the pile:

The World We Used to Live In: Remembering the Powers of the Medicine Men by Vine Deloria, jr.

"Absence and Longing," the summer 2006 issue of Parabola

The Life and Times of Mexico by Earl Shorris

Widdershins by Charles de Lint

The Oracle: the Lost Secrets and Hidden Message of Ancient Delphi by William J. Broad

The Great Deluge: Hurricane Katrina, New Orleans, and the Mississippi Gulf Coast by Douglas Brinkley

Mayflower: a Story of Courage, Community, and War by Nathaniel Philbrick

So you may or may not hear from me for a bit. Have a great weekend, etc.

P.S. I'm watching Monk. It's about going to the dentist. Funny.
