Last night I went to see Tom Robbins speak. He is a wonderful soul and very bright. I found myself listening very intently…but there was something distracting: it was me. A part of myself wishes I were famous. I look in the mirror and wonder about my image consciousness. I would be a liar if I denied my secretive liaisons with Vanity. Walking down the street and catching my visage in car windows…these colorful clothes and shoes that adorn me…we all have our quirks. Back to Tom…he has the goods, he is a well traveled trickster on this Path to Nowhere…he gave the tee shirt a plug which made me feel good. Five seconds into his speech he said, "I hope I can live up to the excellence of the tee-shirt. I'm So Vain…I probably think this blog is about me. He is coming out here for coffee tomorrow as part of the Literary Event…I look forward to meeting him. Maybe we can trade queries about the fountain of youth or the best store windows to catch our reflections in. I will keep you posted.

Oh please please ask him for me, What’s that wonderful thing you do with your hair? Only kidding; but could you take a picture and e-mail it? As you know, childstar has certain responsibilities today so she can’t be there; she has to be square. (Talk about vanity–Norman Mailer and I both like to refer to ourselves in the third person.)
