Naked Women

2009-11-24T09:47:00.002-05:00

I hope that title is eye-catching enough for you. Better yet: it's true. An essay I wrote about my first (and almost last!) trip to a gentlemen's club has just been posted at The Morning News. It's on the long side, but there's a lot of nudity too, so it all balances out.

A very short film

I had the opportunity to hang out with one of my favorite nephews, Basie Settle, last night. He's a freshman at UNC-G. He might be a genius; he's gifted for sure at the snappy one-liner and humorous, sometimes acerbic comeback. Here he is pictured with his girlfriend, Kelly.

I think I saw an alien today.

Not much to report.

My daughter sent me this. It's weird.

I wrote a pretty cool story inspired by this article

I No Longer Live in the Castle

2009-05-19T16:03:00.003-05:00

But this is me when I was there. I'm the guy on the right.

Now I am in Heidelberg. I had no idea what a wonderful place this is. There's a castle on the hillside overlooking the city, and it's a regular Babylon on the streets. If I were a student I'd come here. I'm going to suggest that to Henry. I had an amazing talk with a lot of the students on base, a huge turnout. I don't know if that had anything to do with their teacher giving them extra credit if they got my autograph. Probably not. Last night in Ansbach was a pleasure as well. I have had more chocolate and beer in Germany than I have had in my entire life, and I wish I were exaggerating, but I'm not. On the morrow: Landstuhl.

Here's a picture of that castle.

Still gone. But gone in a castle.

Gone.

I haven't been posting lately because I've been and continue to be in Europe. For the first ten days of May Laura and I traveled with some friends around Spain, and then they returned and I stayed -- to work. I'm going to eleven or so American military bases in Venice, Brussels, and Germany to talk to folks about writing. It's a great opportunity. I've only been to one so far, in Vicenza, and today I'm in Brussels for the second stop. But it's been fun. I imagine I'll get pretty worn down by the end of it all . . . but so far, so good.

What I had for lunch today. Mouche. Mussels. Mussels in Brussels. It's a tradition.

This is either a good thing or a bad thing. I'm going to say: good.
