Brady

I visited my friend M., in Connecticut. She has the loveliest house, and a very adorable dog, Brady. We had a very nice time, eating, talking, exchanging thoughts about upcoming papers (she, on French literature, me on, yes, you know me, 9/11).
She is thinking about establishing a semi-formal writers' retreat, and I'd be more than willing to go stay with her a few days/weeks to write! (oh, and next time, I hope to be a bit less shy about it and try her lovely piano...)
