TRUE STORY!

Three days of constant rain and a newspaper reporter wants to interview me about the flood. “What flood?” I asked. My poncho and rainpants are hanging to dry behind the office door. The creek was a mountain river. I said, “I just come to work as usual.” She said, “Can I quote you?”

I'm reading Dear Sandy, Hello. A bizarre tale in early 60s America. What got me there was Ron Padgett's beautiful book about friendship with Ted Berrigan titled, Ted. I borrowed a copy through interlibrary loan. Meanwhile, I have searched Everywhere for a copy of Ted to buy. It has vanished from Earth! Even the publisher has no more copies! I'm afraid this could be the future fate of Good Deed Rain books too. Hope not, but if there are GDR books you want to read let me know.
