Although it has been cold and raining for a very solid week, I have the following trike news to report:


  1. A friend is making a special trip over here at 9:15 am on Saturday from three towns over, so that she can take the trike out for a ten minute spin. I let her sit on it, locked to a post at night in the rainy dark, and it was that exciting.

  2. A woman who was walking down the bike path talking on her cell phone today, started calling urgently after me when I passed her. When I stopped, she ran to me. Turns out the she never learned to ride a bike, but is raising her grandson, who just turned 4 and has his first bike, and she's been thinking of getting a trike to keep up with him. At her request, I let her give it a very brief try.

  3. Also, I have seen the following writers on their bikes while out on my trike. (No stopping and chatting, just a rolling wave). In the order in which I encountered them:


    • Andrea Hairston who has a science fiction novel, Mindscape, due out from Aqueductpress in February.

    • Jerry Epstein, editor and economist.

    • Kelly Link, who wrote the strange and wonderful short story collection, Magic for Beginners.


    • In other news:


      1. Only three more days until my birthday. It's Monday. What oh what will it be like to be forty-five?

      2. I won't be joining the ghost of Katherine Anne Porter at the Yaddo mansion. Didn't get in.

      3. Lambda Literary Foundation has a new director in Charles Flowers, and evolving plans (check the link if you'd like to know more.
