Wow. Lots to do before AWP. This weekend, the in-laws are taking A and I to the Rockies for skiing, hot tubs, beer, beer in the hot tub, and food. I'm very excited about all this. Since moving from Montana to Lincoln, A and I have really missed the mountains. Our hearts ache a bit when we see pictures of them. The mountains in Nebraska aren't as impressive. So, the trip will be needed. I'll be sure to report back with pics.

This does, however, put even more pressure on Mathias and I regarding our AWP preparations. We have cool stuff to show you--hope we can pull it all off before our plane leaves. Aaaah.

AWP note: Justin Marks of Lit, invited me to read some poems alongside Adam Clay (who we'll be shacking up with (and Brandon Shimoda)), Sam Starkweather, and Randall Mann, and maybe, just maybe, Matt Henriksen. This little event is sponsored by LIT, Kitchen Press, and Redivider. It will be on Friday night, 9pm, at Club de Ville.
