Back from reading at the University of West Georgia with Terri Witek. A really good time, hanging out with the Chad Davidson and the gang, and interesting, too, because I have lots of relatives there in Carrollton. Two of my grandfather's brothers, their children and grandchildren. It had been some time since I'd been there. The weird thing is figuring out my uncle Don used to live on the same street as Chad. The ever smaller world strikes again.

Off to see Grindhouse here in a bit, even in this absurd cold snap.
