[Tim Murphy]

Went to the PO Box and picked up Able Muse. I'm thrilled that my foster brother, David, is featured poet. Thrilled to see my big seven part The School Teacher, in it. And most thrilled of all to see Seree's big essay on Psalm 18, and the entirety of that enormous poem. What a great tribute to Alan's memory.

Also, there was Gray's, with my six sonnet sequence for my big hunting buddy, Steve Syrdal.

Then I went to my bank to have a legal document witnessed and notarized. This enormous kid asked "Are you the Tim Murphy whose dog is Feeney?" Then "Where can I get Hunter's Log?" He said he wanted six copies. "Whatever for?" "My little brothers, my dad, all hunt pheasants, and I want them to read your book, which I heard on the radio." I happened to have a case in the car, so I sold them to the lad at my author's discount. Like I said, Red Letter Day.
