Well, the sun is trying to come out. Still a bit cool at 66 degrees (18.8 Celsius).
Wren Update: On the nest yesterday, not this morning. The five eggs are still whole.
Not much, so here's an interesting interview with the British novelist David Mitchell (Ghostwritten, Cloud Atlas, Black Swan Green). I'm a big Mitchell fan, and was just delighted to see he's got a new book out. In the interview, he talks about the difficulties and accompanying terrors of writing in the third person (he was afraid of not knowing where to stop) and the limits his children might face if he and his family had continued to live in Japan (his wife is Japanese). The interview is here.
In other news, Hilary Mantel's Wolf Hall is garnering bets to be the first Booker/Orange Prize double winner. Lorrie Moore's A Gate at the Stairs and Barbara Kingsolver's The Lacuna are also in the running.
So. Poem coming up.

Today hasn't been very productive for me so far ... I did get the trash set out, which is a good thing. *g* I'm still shaking my head over my cousin (see my reply to Perspi). And I've got a first line that's niggling at the back of my brain sparked by the PPTH Support post by K-gal, but it doesn't want to go anywhere. Grrrr.
