I wake up every morning at about six o'clock or six thirty. I do that automatically.

The first thing I do is to turn on the radio to listen to the news and see what's happened. And then I look to see what time it is.

Then I get up and make coffee, and once I have my coffee I go back upstairs and I turn on my computer and I start writing in my journal while I am drinking my coffee.

And after I do that I pay my bills and take care of what other… whatever household things I have to do, like I might sweep the floor or just clean up a little bit.

Then I take a shower and get dressed. Then after I do that I go back downstairs and I cook something to bring for lunch.

And sometimes I just bring leftovers from the night before. But sometimes I’ll make rice and vegetables.

And then I get in my car and drive about ten minutes or so to work. I work at a small publishing company outside of Princeton.

The first thing I do when I get to work is to check my e-mail. And I read my letters and then I answer them.

And then I start doing… like I look at my daily schedule and see what needs to be done. First if anything's an emergency.

And then after a couple hours I go to lunch. I either eat lunch or I go and run errands on my lunch break like I might go to the health food store and pick up stuff that I need.

 And then after that I come back and work for another couple of hours. And then I leave work about five thirty, drive back home, get home, watch the Simpson and Seinfeld.

And after that, sometimes I meet a friend for a drink or something, beer, coffee or whatever, or walk around.

But after that I usually just read for a while and then I go back upstairs and go to bed.
