I feel rather sad about the summer ending. It seems impossible that three months has passed since my birthday. I’ve always thought of the new year as beginning now rather than in January, and I still feel that way (even though this year’s Rosh Hashona is a month away). It’s chilly out now and today was sunny but just a bit too cool for swimming. I spent the afternoon with Josh – we drove around, played pinball at Buddy’s, chatted in the backyard. He’s just as sour on life as he always was; maybe he’s even worse. He and Simon went to the Eighth Street Bookshop to get an ABC to Literary Magazines by R.C. Morse, which I told him about. He said he saw Alice there, rummaging through magazines looking for a story by me. Laura mentioned staying with Peter Spielberg on the Cape, and Josh and Simon made the mistake of putting Peter down in front of her; she cooled considerably after hearing their comments. Josh and his friend Fat Ronnie want to start a literary magazine called Moron; the name expresses their general philosophy.
