und der mut is so müde gworden und die sehnsucht so gross…

another mittwoch & no answers, one week layover(ha) in nyc to shop for
scrambling sandals, better hiking shoes/ sturdier trail running shoes, some
light raingear…all i’ve bought is socks & sockliners & a pair of support
orthotic pads, that’s about it. not th most confident, comfortable consumer
& customer, tho i am slowly becoming an educated one (‘@ sym’s, an educated
consumer is our best customer’)
so many little hurdles to configuring my virtual writing desk & electronic
post office- hotmail lets me save a draft to continue work- i’m still not
sure yahoo offers that possibility, excite definitely does not. but hotmail
has no easy way to copy addresses off a posting & into their address
‘book’-
has no way @ all except 100% manual off-my-scrap-of-paper data entry…so
i’ll save this draft here (hotmail) & forward it to mself (both excite &
yahoo) to see about editing a bit ummm- tomorrow morning @ ceybercafé in
soho when i go check my compuserve account…try to attach th old kfeen
13/hebdo.amStrand friends & audience(!?) adresses & finally renew my
writing
discipline…
i was hoping to time my visit here @ cyberfeld’s w/ a bite or a coffee @
‘borgo antico’ next door- michele maritato, co-owner & chef, had a great &
inspirational story about hiking down & back up th grand canyon (besides
zion national in utah) & th food is as good as th conversation- th night i
had dinner there, i made up for not having bn eating my greens lately: a
cold spinach & fennel soup, sauteéd dandelion greens & artichokes & grilld
calamari on arugula & white beans! hope i’ve got my ny friends excited
enough to go for a visit & say hi for me! all th best to all, especially my
fellow pilgrims & wanderers this extreme weather summer of ‘99…
lovey dovey lovey dovey all’a time…d=(8{>
