Being Alive called, and I have my long-awaited interview tomorrow. And my former editor from Genre hired me to write a 1500-word piece (at $1 a word!) for the nationwide Pride magazine he edits. It is going to be a broad piece on being gay in prison. As soon as I settle in the new place, I will churn it out in short order.
On Friday I should be driving up to my brother’s to pack up my stuff and Gaza, driving back on Saturday. Given the obvious craziness of the next few days, my blogging may be a bit spotty.
I wish I could say I’m enjoying this part of the ride, but all this unsettledness has got my stomach churning. I will avow that I recognize that all these are "quality problems" that I would have killed to have in prison.
Errr—that is perhaps a poor use of words. I certainly wouldn’t exchange the lack of choice I had in there with the dizzying range of options I must wade through here, let’s put it that way.
So don’t cry for me North New Jersey (as the parody goes.) (Or Saudi Arabia, or Morocco or the Seychelles. I’m floored by the range of my international audience, if only individuals, in these far-flung countries. Thank you for reading!)
