The in-city house we're staying at has an active deer trail through the yard! We've seen the deer twice.

Late Fragment

Immy (21 mos.) and I visited Port Angeles short-story author Raymond Carver's grave site.

LATE FRAGMENT

And did you get what

And what did you want?

To call myself beloved, to feel myself

beloved on the earth.

It is true there must be some angels in this city

We've moved to Port Angeles, Washington on the supernatural Olympic Peninsula, arriving in the wee hours of February 15, after a whirlwind house sale and move.

I haven't been away from Seattle this long since I moved there from Forks, Washington more than 16 years ago and Simon hasn't been away this long since 1977!
