A Thought for Today
The best thing that ever happened to a credit card is a good sharp pair of scissors.
STRETCHING THE SUMMER
Every year I try to make the summer stretch a little longer. I come to Mexico in January and February to write - always assured I'll find the sun. My concerts in the fall are planned in countries like Australia to catch the places and people as their summer begins. At home in California, I'm at the beach or stretched out in the backyard the first day of March and the last sunshiny hour of October. I hate to see most seasons go, but summer runs the fastest. I would always rather be too warm, trying to find relief from heat, than cold beneath electric blanket or seeking out a someone to be my warm up jacket.
Edward says my blood runs thin and that I'm always cold. I don't bleed easily but when I do my blood runs thick and hot. I'm a summer soldier and every year I battle on to make the summer last a little longer.

Sun", 1974
