i think it’s the sultry, sticky weather here today, combined with the fact that I just watched the movie “genius” about max perkins–the legendary editor whose clients included thomas wolfe, f. scott fitzgerald, and ernest hemingway. but for whatever reason, the heat, the humidity, the reference to hemingway, and the tropical feel of these ferns, all combined to put me in key west on a veranda, with a rum drink and not enough breeze, and maybe a six-toed cat or two, stopping by to brush across my ankles.
