Something on the Grand River in downtown Grand Rapids, Michigan

[ A colorful…something…on the Grand River in downtown Grand Rapids. ]

After suffering through another heat wave and humidity spike so severe it caused the corn to sweat (which just made everything worse), we are in a brief stretch of cooler weather, and with renewed vigor fueled by a couple of nights where I managed to get more than four hours of sleep, I am taking care of All The Things!

Reading

I finished Thomas McGuane’s short story collection Gallantin Canyon, and it was most excellent! McGuane has a fine sense for creating characters and motivations, and his writing style is quite enjoyable. I would put him on my shelf between Elmore Leonard and Jim Harrison.

And I just finished the beautiful and heartbreaking Magical/Realism by Vanessa Angélica Villarreal. Highly recommended to EVERYONE!

Writing

Just some journaling. And this blog.
