![]() I admire newsletter writers and bloggers who plan out and stockpile content far in advance, but this trip has taught me that I prefer the immediacy of my own process. I ended up writing the “How to Read a Book” post one rainy morning when we were camping at the Solid Sound music festival and stuck in our tents, but by the time I mailed it out, we had just landed back in San Francisco and the original drafting felt far away. My plan was to write both week 26 and week 27 ahead of my vacation, but the pneumonia derailed that plan. I wouldn’t have missed any of it – the maple creemees or the Pat’s cheesesteak or the Carolina barbecue kayaking on Lake Champlain at sunset listening to Jeff Tweedy sing “Noah’s Flood” in a sudden summer shower visiting with aunts, uncles, cousins, siblings, and mothers from three different families or traveling with five of my favorite humans in a giant white whale of an SUV – but it feels good to be back in my beloved San Francisco, which has been muffled in a deep, cool layer of soothing fog all week.Īnd it feels great to be back to my regular rhythm of writing these newsletters. The trip was glorious but almost too full of sights, sounds, sensations, and tastes. ![]() ![]() How did the writing go this week? I’m settled back in at the garret after a two-week road trip from Vermont to North Carolina. ![]()
