Last night: Durham Bulls. Lots of heckling. The Ottawa Lynx probably do not like us very much. Always good to spend time with old friends, and perhaps a new friend or two. One of the girls we were with found out that I’m working on an MFA and was excited. “Are you a poetry fan?” I asked. “I love Billy Collins,” she said. “He’s quite good,” I said. “I made out with him once,” she said. “Is that what sparked your interest in poetry, or was that the end of it?” I asked. “The end,” she said.

Still reading the economics book, but I have also started Making It Happen: A Non-Technical Guide to Project Management. This is for the work “book club.” Within three pages, I wished I could retreat into some Elizabeth Bishop or something. I can just see how it’s trying so hard to be pleasure reading… and how it just fails.

If my job switches from Movable Type to WordPress, I’m going to switch as well, in all likelihood.
