I woke up this morning walked to the coffee shop and then walked back home in a thunderstorm. This is my favorite kind of day. I wish there were some sort of exercise program that involved natural elements. Today I am going to the gym to swim up stream or jogging between lightening bolts. Yes, I need an element of danger to move my body. I could try the tread mill with a fork and a toaster.

I also read Wallace Stevens this morning, finished my new issue of Poetry and bought a new couch. I think I might even go to the bookstore and call it a perfect day.
