Welcome, welcome – have some whine:
In addition to my day job, which is unusually hectic right now, I have a review of the new Alain de Botton book due, I just finished a short books article for Fashion magazine yesterday, I am in the middle of editing a wrestling memoir (!), I am interviewing a lit-magazine editor this afternoon, and my lowly second novel picked this moment to demand daily, break-of-dawn labour (and I am abiding, mostly happily).
Plus: my son's baseball team seems to play every other night, and my daughter is continuing her descent into full-on hellion status.
This would all be just fine, were I not, at heart, a lazy goodfornothing who would rather lie around and re-read Kingsley Amis novels all day.
Was it not Huey Lewis (and his News) who once sang, "all I need is a couple days off"?
Wise words, Mr Lewis, wise words.
