me in the piazza

I'm a writer, publishing both as SJ Rozan and, with Carlos Dews, as Sam Cabot. (I'm Sam, he's Cabot.) Here you can find links to my almost-daily blog posts, including the Saturday haiku I've been doing for years. BUT the blog itself has moved to my website. If you go on over there you can subscribe and you'll never miss a post. (Miss a post! A scary thought!) Also, I'll be teaching a writing workshop in Italy this summer -- come join us!

All right, I bought a bird book

What can I say? So many ducks, so little knowledge. I was tired of looking at all these waterfowl and having no idea who they were. I ask myself, what difference does it make? It's not like I know their individual names. It's not like I can talk to them -- well, I can, and have been, but they don't listen. But it seemed important, and I have a policy of never refusing to buy an important-seeming book. So I went out and got a Sibley's. So far, I've learned my cormorants are Double-crested ones; that ducks can be divided into dabblers and divers; that Buffleheads -- of whom we now have three, probably on their way south for the winter and the weather here's so warm they think they ARE south -- are the smallest North American ducks; and that the new brown ducks hanging out at the pilings are probably Gadwalls. It makes me absurdly satisfied to know all this. I hope I don't start getting really boring on the subject.

I know -- some of you are already thinking, Start? But it's my blog.
