Back at work on the third of July; an abrupt transition. Head still full of canyons and meadows and rivers and mountains, receding now behind the city, but still there, finding a way through the cracks, the gaps, all the little spaces never quite paved over, in the city or in the mind.
I want to thank our hosts once more:
The RenHillWalls, who put us up in Bozeman, providing various sorts of guidance.
The Copelands, who installed us in their amazing Lucky Dog Lodge on the Gallatin.
The MacFaddens, whose beautiful cabin on the Smith River is no more than a fitting setting for their jewel of a daughter, Sarah, who was the major motivator behind the whole adventure.
Thanks to all, and to all the friends, old and new, who shared the good times.
May we meet again.
Oh, those tabloids!When I saw the giant
Daily News headline SARAH! I thought they were congratulating our friend Sarah Macfadden on her big jewelry sale to toney retailer
ABC Carpet & Home, but our Sarah's not
that big (not yet): it was surprise gold medal figure skater Sarah Hughes of Long Island. She's also on the front of the
Post, under a big headline screaming MURDERED, which made me start, until I saw that it was an unfortunate congruence with the sad story of captive Wall St Journal reporter Daniel Pearl. You know these editors are agonizing over what is the real news. But the best line was on the back of the Post, where a picture of fallen favorite Michelle Kwan was tagged NO KWAN DO!
Sarah MacFadden (who may be lurking hereabouts) has jewelry on display with Tiffany Peay,
opening this Friday. But can she take advantage of publicity for the upcoming Tolkien movie by making
magic rings?
Jennifer Jason Leigh is on Rosie O'Donell this morning wearing one of Sarah MacFaddens necklaces.
