I know all this and more

I left the house for this afternoon's doctor to discover that the mail had already brought my contributor's copy of Not One of Us #87, containing my poem "Gramarye." It owes a title to Susan Cooper and the rest to anger and the sea. It belongs to the talent issue, sharing double edges with the fiction and poetry of Joseph Hirsch, Marissa Lingen, J. Hellend, David Kopaska-Merkel and more. I love the alert, alien camera contributed to the cover art by John and Flo Stanton. Pick up a copy, add to the weirdness. Its digest-sized persistence is a gift.

I love the idea of adding Glasgow to Boston's roster of sister cities, or Boston to Glasgow's. I keep forgetting we're not officially twinned with Halifax.

WERS played Aretha Franklin's "Eleanor Rigby" (1971) as I was driving from a_reasonable_man's to my mother's. I may have been given a new motto. It is fine that the tornado watch seems to have expired in a very brief monsoon.

I look forward to my subscriber copy.

That is an excellent motto!

I think it is so cute that the Scots have had such a nice time here that they want to put a ring on it.

Its digest-sized persistence is a gift --truth! I look forward to my subscriber copy.

It was a good little monsoon! And the clouds were quite impressive before it cut loose. I wouldn't have recognized that song as a cover of Eleanor Rigby if it weren't so labeled, but gradually I realized she was singing "all the lonely people," and while the original captures the feeling of loneliness, her version seems like it can maybe help bring people together and energize them out of loneliness.

PS I love the motto! And, re: your comment above, you DO live up to it.
