Dear readers:

I am going on an adventure...

I am not sure when I will be back, but be sure that I will be... before snowfall. (ha ha)

I will try to stop in and visit you at your "homes" when I can, but I am curbing my use of the internet to early morning and late night rounds. Period.

Hernán Lara Zavala gave a talk last night that moved me to this, or maybe it was Quinto's beautiful poem, or something deeper and darker... I don't really know. But I was struck by one of those Carpe Diem moments.

It is a writer's job to write, and to complete the cycle, one must publish, but, for now, I will not be publishing what I write. Not here. Not now.

If you should feel so moved, please visit, email, call... I am not going to be incomunicada (Tuesday night "dates" can be kept;) and please feel free to peruse my archives here or at www.cuentocuentos.blogspot.com (where I may still drop a few poems here and there... even if most of you probably won't like them)

The big question, of course is, will I be able to resist narrating my mundane existence in lieu of another much more tantalizing one?

That remains to be seen.

This is all for now, cryptic though it may be.

I love you all, every single one of you.

besitos...
