This weekend we plan to grab lunch at Perry’s, a burger joint here on Vashon Island. Next we’ll hike circles around Jensen Point and then finish reading the collected stories of Frank O’Connor. All of which pretty much guarantees us a downright rosy couple of days. But wait! Before we slip into our freewheeling attire, there’s still a bit of work-week business to manage. Namely, rounding up the stories, poems, interviews and literature news that made this first week in December such a unique drip on time’s silky canvas. Hey, it’ll never, ever, EVER be this exact moment in history again! Crazy, right? Good thing we have archives, so all you Doctor Emmitt Browns can travel back in time and catch up on what you missed. Here’s to flexing your capacitor.
