Friday Night & I Remember to Blog

Criminality of poetry made it's way to the California State Supreme Court... outcome being watched closely.


Poems From a Baseball Fan Howard Nobles' first book of poetry find it's way into print.

At First I though Michaela was giving us a little panty humor... but the story of the 33 year old history professor who flashes her panties at political events is, well, on the up and up.

By the way - my yesterday afternoon hokey at the ballpark was lets say a massacre. The Royals allowed Detroit 27 (count them) hits... one shy of the 1928 franchise record for the Detroit Tigers. Needless to say the Royals lost. Anderson's ERA must be approaching that 27 figure. Hey, the weather was nice!

Off To The Ballpark

Day game awaits me.

Last night worked on a poem - The Truth ABout Mushrooms

Got to run....

Finally, Poetry for the Guy & Girl Next Door!

Jilly sighting!

Jilly reports in from her residency program at Queens University of Charlotte. Exciting to hear all about her experience thus far.


Laurel Snyder - the Queen-Of-In-Between chisels out a little spot where she sets quite nicely on the fence. She seems ok with the view both directions.

OK... she says she isn't finished, but I like what she's done - Katey has a new do in the works. Makes me think I need to tinker with mine a bit. **sigh**

"I want to grow moss. " - Cassie Lewis

That cracks me up so bad! The girl seriously wants to settle down, and I can't blame her.

Last Night's Reading

My reading last night at the Writers Place came off against the backdrop of locally severe weather. We ignored it. The drive home was a bit challenging.

The best reception I got (no pun intended) was for my piece The Colorization of Television which for some reason seems to be a favorite. When I read Abstract Father one girl said, "Oh, that was about me!" Ok. I am now clairvoyant. **grin**

None of my Northland Writer friends made it. I understand there was some confusion about the date. Fourth Monday vs. Last Monday thing.

The group wasn't large - fifteen I believe.

Saturday Night - I drag myself here and blog...

Poet / Blogger Jilly Dybka is off to her 8 day MFA Residency. I know she'll be busy but she says she'll try to blog from her hotel. Hope she has time to update us a bit. At any rate, sending her best wishes. Sounds like an exciting time ahead for her.


I'm delighted to hear Cassie is starting to feel at home somewhere. Dang, the poor girl was beginning to seem like a homeless vagabon.


My thoughts are with Kasey after learning of the loss of his brother.


Robert Bly has a new release: The Insanity of Empire It addresses the current blunder in Iraq.

Tomorrow (Sunday) I will forsake my normal Northland Writer friends to do a family gig. My Aunt is in town from California.
But Monday - I will be a the Writers Place to read.

That's it for now, you'll have to excuse me. I'm hungry and I have writing to do.

Ta-ta!
