Pleasant Time
Last night we had a nice relaxing dinner with visiting friends. I’ve known Frédérique since my first week of graduate school at Emory; we suffered through orientation together and have been friends ever since. That’s well over a decade now (I’m not saying how much more). Way back when, she met and married Clark and they had Louis, who’s a couple of years older than Ben. They are fun to be with, fun to spend time with. I’ve missed them…

A built-in webcam would be kind of neat, too. Post links if you happen to…
Poem: The Vine
The Vine — A VirusHead Poem All this talk of trees, on and on for the phallic market Strategies of an oily snake for leafage sales (once his hanging Globulars were taken). Sublime awareness must be more Than a petty lesson from a parent uncomfortable With the shape of fruition, death more complex Than effect catalyzed by theft of figgish ‘apple’, or … Lest we ruin another ancient secret, the swords still whirl. But there was a gift, a scion,…
Kevin Max and Nick Savage at the Bridge
Ok, it’s a first, but I was in a celebratory mood. We went to see a show at a Baptist church in Stone Mountain. John wasn’t feeling that well, but he still went with me (thank you, my sweet hubby). I didn’t know where the venue was, and all day Friday I was trying to find where “The Bridge” could possibly be at Stone Mountain Park. The covered bridge? It seemed unlikely. Finally (and thanks for the link, B!) I…
