The Susan M. Schultz, Mary Jo Bang reading at the City Museum last night was well attended. Probably a lot of WashU students there to see Mary Jo. I had Susan sign some books for me. Aloha. Had a conversation with David Hess afterwards by the bonfire about Ted Berrigan. Aaron Belz told me he just passed his PhD exams at SLU. Next year the readings will be in a less hostile environment. Perhaps the new museum of contemporary art?

Took Julia to baseball practice this morning. She loves the game. If I didn't have a kid I probably wouldn't even own a baseball glove.

Did you see the letter to the editor by Henry Gould in the New York Times Magazine this morning?
