Inspiration
Today Louise went to the Sakura festival at the Brooklyn Botannical Gardens, but Ben didn't go because Vikke was busy with an art project all day.
I didn't go either, but I had a nice run along the tow path. Saw one fuzzy gosling paddling in the canal with its parents, and a Baltimore Oriole. I've always thought black and orange made a beautiful combination.
The wild turkeys were in the wooded part of the backyard, the tom display on a fallen tree while the hen investigated the ground with the same two-steps-forward-scratch, two-steps-back-look routine as a chicken.
I worked on a new short story, "Book of Fire," which was inspired by my reading about Philip K. Dick in Wikipedia after someone mentioned "what happened to him" on OWW, along with the ideographic language in Walter Jon Williams' Aristoi and my own childhood fantasy that my father had a special book with a flaming cover.
