Something that gave me a thrill this morning














was listening to John Updike, reading Frank O'Hara. It's the small pleasures that keep one from tipping over.

Read and listen HERE.

    Re-reading Mountolive at the Hospital today I thought of you. How much do you remember of it? Actually for me it is the good friendships that keep one from tipping over in this world, and that my dear, keeps my eyes on the stars.

    Thank you.

    "Quandariness" -- now I have a word for "that" feeling. . .

    Man, that was so fine.

    Kruschev is coming on the right day!

    I would rather read O'Hara than just about anybody.
