Long night. On the road.

by Jon Katz

Left Clifton Park around 5 p.m.
Fed Izzy, threw the ball for him. My readings have all been strong, warm. Another large crowd, sold a ton of books, selling lots of family farm notecards. Wow, the blog and the photos mean much to people – shocking to me, gratifying. Long drive – 9 hours to Columbus.
We are looking for a motel. Will get up early to finish the drive. Met a trucker – Chris -who lost his border collie that he rode around with.
People always ask me if I write because I love dogs.
No, I say, I write because I love writing.
No photos till later, just words, the way writers used to write.
So different going on tour with Maria. Tours used to be so lonely.
I could drive all night.
