Just a quick note before the office shuts down.
Graceland and Memphis today. Great day. I’ll be writing more tonight, but it won’t go in until tomorrow morning.
Thanks to everyone who’s been reading, and particularly to those who’ve been emailing me, it’s wonderful to hear from you.
By the way, it’s hotter than hell in August here. I’m scared of what it’ll be like when it gets to _be_ August here…

I may not come home. After I drop Suzy off at the Portland airport on 9/1, I’m coming back to Newport. And I might not come home. I felt more comfortable here, 3500 miles from my house, than I have in several months. It took me about twenty minutes at the Rogue Brewery Tasting House….
