I discovered today, surprisingly enough, and contrary to much scientific research (as well as urban legend), that one feels better if one goes out during the day and exercises. There's something strange about sunlight and movement. Really lifts the spirits. Someone should do a study.

Anyway, must fly, as I have an interview this morning at ten. It's way in the Bronx, but the interview will be good practice, if nothing else. I leave you with an amusing quote from the Powellsbooks.com newsletter.

"This brief interlude is dedicated to the millions of unheralded, hardworking blank spaces who tirelessly and with pride perform the thankless task of unbeing in order that words should remain properly held apart."
