Not actually hungover; I wasn't so drunk; I was just typing rather loosely.

But I do remember the night, and she was glorious.


Off to the work and to think about how Ray Bradbury said that we are here because the universe needed us to exult in it.

I like his style.

Bradbury once advised me that a writer should avoid local news like the plague; I haven't watched since.

Plus, he's pushing 90 and never had a driver's license. "Why bother?" The man rules.
nunquam:
I saw Mr. Bradbury speak in L.A. a few years ago. It was a fabulous speech - very inspiring, everyone was on their feet afterward. The occasion was the hardcover re-issue of Fahrenheit 451.

Afterward, he was signing the book (you had to buy it there). It was the first time for me to meet the man whose books I loved and had been reading since I was 12. I was thrilled.

When it was my turn at the table, I complimented him on the speech and thanked him for the inspiration. He looked me in the eye, pen in hand and said impatiently, "Name...name! What name do you want in here?" Haha!
