I stayed up nearly all night last night reading this book, had to put it down after close to four straight hours of nothing but reading because I couldn't keep my eyes open. Finished it this morning and can't wait to grab the next. It's fantastic. I've been in dire need for some great fiction recently and this held every bit of my attention for all 600 plus pages, which is a miracle in itself. Whoa. I'm in North Georgia for a few days for the grandfather's surprise birth. They live up on a mountain with a beautiful view and loads of drafty quiet rooms which are perfect for reading and detoxing, as long as the dogs don't find you. A bear wandering through the garbage last night and they killed a copperhead in the garage two days ago. I love being in the middle of nowhere. Today in between pages, we ventured out to see friends out on in the nearby county. They've got a dairy farm thats been in the family since 1840. Every weekend, trucks of folks venture up from Atlanta to buy their all naturale, dry aged, organic no nothing added pork and beef. Watched a lady get her heel stuck in the mud today. Awesome. I love time spent in the back of beyond.

Lots to come this next week with the meanderings of summer finally slowing down and giving way to the regiments of a unself-inflicted schedule. But man oh man, it has been a fantastic past few weeks. Loads of pointed facts,  askewed notes, colourful observations, quotes, soul wringing, thoughts, head nods, beats and buzz, bell chimes, super tunes, sprawling wordscapes, rudeness, and photos about to be dropped. Here's to catching up and not making sense.
