henna day post

[gwynnega]

It is Henna Day, in the midst of more annoyingly humid summer weather. The henna is cool on my head. I am longing for autumn.

On Friday night I had dinner with Carolyn at Taix and saw '20s/'30s/'40s jazz by the Silver Palm Trio.

Yesterday I took three bags of clothes and shoes to the Goodwill, then went to Skylight Books. I said hi to Franny, the bookstore cat, and bought new editions of Frank O'Hara's Meditations in an Emergency and Poems Retrieved. (I have O'Hara's massive hardcover collected poems, but I've been wanting more portable O'Hara books, and there are no O'Hara ebooks yet.) What with so many of L.A.'s independent bookstores now gone, I'm perpetually grateful that Skylight is thriving.

I've been working on the Jo book and a poem, and sending out submissions. I will do more of all this after I rinse out my hair.

Bracing for the inevitable siege of blistering Santa Anas, then I hope we get a break in the weather.

Ugh, Santa Anas! It does seem likely we'll have some blistering heat before autumn finally appears.

What a great weekend! (Despite the annoyingly humid weather.)

Love the idea of the jazz trio. :)

Plus I had roast chicken and Viognier at Taix. :-)

And I just had a glass of Viognier with my dinner! :))
