SJ ROZAN

I'm in the stretching room at the gym. Two other guys there, in conversation. One's an actor in his 70's, chubby, white hair, white beard. Guy asks if he ever plays Santa Claus. No, actor says, but I know a guy who's a professional Santa Claus. How he makes his living. No kidding, says the other guy, so do I. Excuse me for butting in, I say, but so do I. We compare notes; it's not impossible that we might know the same guy, since we're all from the neighborhood, etc. We don't. Three random people at the gym all know different professional Santa Clauses. I love New York.

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!
