today we're on the way to Halifax and we're in Fredericton. I got a speeding ticket and later almost didn't make it across the border; the three customs officials spoke of our "case." we're now in a great motel in Fredericton, NB and walked in 11F weather with a high wind to a mall where I found a copy of a Halifax map and a catalog on time. tomorrow we go to Halifax if the car starts, the temp's down to 0F in the morning. we saw crows and ravens, two vultures, and two large hawks, I swear one was an eagle. I'm bringing Writing of the Disaster (Blanchot) and two books by Walter Dendy, a 19th-century writer who was fascinated by dreams and occult phenomena. the snow on the sides of the highways is piled up to five feet and there are cuts through the piles which have fascinating strata, each storm leaving its signature. I'm glad to be out of Providence and on Wednesday I'm meeting with a new-media class for which I'm totally unprepared. All this in the way of apologies for not reading much online today and tomorrow; I close my eyes and a furious frozen highway dashes past. - alan == email archive http://sondheim.rupamsunyata.org/ web http://www.alansondheim.org / cell 347-383-8552 music: http://www.espdisk.com/alansondheim/ current text http://www.alansondheim.org/sk.txt ==
