AUG 10 Belo in San Diego, paying homage to legendary Mark Farina.

Nearly four weeks abroad on business; Washington and Florida tucked away to a kindling corner, a place where grimness waits to be contained before fires and summer lay waste to disconsolation. I was in a fouler mood, raised to clatter in an airport, stuttering on about disjointed unhingement, and wishing to be anywhere but there when the world and words drop away. It’s over, over and done, done and forgotten. There! From the terminal window, a rocket named Endeavour pushed upwards by a finger of smoke. Tries to make it all worth the while.
