A third day in New Hampshire means a third breakfast at Polly's Pancake Parlor, the world's cutest diner. The ladies at Polly's all like the fact that my picture is on one of the posters stuck on their bulletin board. This makes me feel like a celebrity. Also, they give me an early-bird discount because I am the earliest bird in town.

Yesterday I learned from poet Leslea Newman that Tennessee Williams once published a book of poems. Who knew? Not only that, "Life Story," the piece she brought in for her workshop, is one of the funniest poems I have ever read. Possibly it won't be all that appropriate for school kids, however.
