a writer's life

a writing day. 

do you have melancholy days? days when you can only think

of all the roads not taken? days when it seems like things

weren't mean to be like this, at all? 

today was a little like that.

on such days, i think it's important to take a notebook 

and a really good book (like philip roth's goodbye columbus)

to a favorite marketplace/bakery/cafe (like alon's) 

and have a nice cup of coffee plus some colorful treats.

confession: i may have done this yesterday too.

the weather was incredible. i kind of didn't want to ever leave -
