well, i've been hiding this under my hat for a bit.

i've been selected to do

a residency at terraphilia.

terraphilia is a beautiful word

coined by susan tweit and her late husband richard cabe

(who liked my rock books)

terraphilia is in salida, colorado,

and the residency is a place to stay and work.

i will go there after school is out.

and the other piece of news is also grand:

travel money, so i can travel to and from,

rent a car, and be in the mountains for two weeks.

heaven.

i am very grateful to susan and to the sda.

i am really, really excited!
