Sorry for the long gap in my posting. Not sure why - I have not been that busy. I think I just forgot to post here. I don't have that much to say today but wanted to do a post so I will try and think of something to blather about.

Right now I am really into David Sedaris. I got his latest book - The Best of Me and have been reading that over the last little while. He is so funny and I love his witty observations. He really is a fun writer. I have seen him speak twice in person and that was great. This is the first book I had actually sat down to read of his. I think he put together what he thought of as his best stories for this collection. I have to say I have been chuckling through the book. It is laugh out loud funny. I don't usually laugh out loud when I read something funny but he makes me laugh out loud. I even wrote to him about something in one of his stories - so I did that too. I don't think he will respond. I wrote to his publicist to see if she would send him my note. I did not want to put it on Twitter. Anyhoo. Really enjoying him right now. I think I will read more of his books. His stories are nice - each story is short so you can read them quick or while you are reading other books. I read this book while I read other things. You can read a story of his and put the book down and pick it up later. I love that about his books.

I found out that a friend of mine (who I was not in touch with) had died recently. That put me into a depressive spin for a little while. I was sad for him and don't think I will ever know what really happened there. I have gotten some information and that was really sad to hear. He took his own life. Very sad. It is so hard when someone does that and thinking about what a dark place they got to. That made me really sad.

Anyways. I guess that might be why I have not been updating - I was dealing with my feelings on that. I cannot say I am over it. Still thinking about it. He is from overseas so I think all the funeral arrangements are taking place in his home country.

Well on that happy note, I think I will close this really cheerful entry. Sorry to be such a downer. I am ok. Really I am. Just in my feelings.

Hope all is well with you where you are.
