My essay Egyptian Spaghetti Pyramids is featured in this months Marco Polo Arts Magazine.
Neat fact that the editor send me: the symbol that is above the link to the essay is Arabic for goodbye.
I’m going to write an essay about this man, John Updike. Five seconds after this picture was taken, I totally surprise kissed him. He turned bright red, and I asked if he’d like to join me for a whiskey. He caught the eye of an older woman off to the side and said he didn’t drink. Five months later he was dead.

What a great photo and caption! Where was this one taken? I was fortunate enough to have one made with him too, back in 2001 when he paid a weekend visit to the University of Cincinnati (check out the book for an account of his visit). I of course didn’t kiss him, but was able to get him to sign three books I brought along. He’s my favorite author, and I still miss his annual offerings. I recently purchased Higher Gossip, which is of course wondrous.
