Lytspeed's Creativity Journal

We worked more on the house last night; the upstairs hallway (and all seven doors in it) are now painted and my wife primered (?) over some stenciled roses in the bedroom. Tonight we're going to a Colorado Rockies game, so we won't get any painting done. But tomorrow, while she's at work I will try to get the stairwell painted. I read more of Sophie's World last night, and I also got a couple of books in the mail that I've been looking forward to for quite a while. Where the Southern Cross the Dog (Fairwood Press) and Veil of the Soul (Yard Dog Press) are chapbooks by Trey Barker, a writer-stagehand-musician-former radio personality-funny guy in Illinois. I'm especially looking forward to Where the Southern Cross the Dog, because the stories in it are inspired by Mississippi Delta Blues. When I complete each, I will post a review on this site.
