My old friend Rochelle Ratner came to California and spent time with me last week (she did a series of readings for her Balancing Acts, her new poetry book). We took some snaps, and I wanted to post a couple. (Rochelle is one of the few friends shorter than I am, so the statue photo, taken in Oakland, is sweet.)
