Come with the sun and getting restless when it's gone

1. The snowpocalypse turned into freezing rain; I had to shovel chunks of ice off the front steps. I believe it may still be raining. Once again, betrayed by porn.

2. Yesterday's mail, slogging bravely through the falling snow clumps, brought my contributor's copy of the latest annual not-Not One of Us publication, Love Is a Hurtin' Thing. It opens with Patricia Russo's "People Love What They Love" and closes with my poem "Sefer Yetzirah," which I am very glad to have in print; it is a love letter with golems. I will post links as soon as they're available.

3. My poems "Anakatabasis" (Hidden) and "In the Earth in Those Days" (Not One of Us #44) have been nominated for the Rhysling Award.

4. I have to catch a plane. My godchild turns one on Saturday.

1. Betrayed by ... porn?

2. Is that annual something that all subscribers to Not One of Us get, or is it a special edition that you have to special order? If the former, then I look forward to getting my copy, maybe today.

3. Rhysling nominations ♥

4. Safe travels! Many happy returns of the day to your godchild.

Betrayed by ... porn?

It's a line from Greg the Bunny. Spoken by a resigned, but not really surprised college-age male on discovering that not all was as it seemed with the Catholic schoolgirl skinny-dipping in his swimming pool on her eighteenth birthday. It's always seemed like a useful phrase.

Is that annual something that all subscribers to Not One of Us get, or is it a special edition that you have to special order?

No, it's the annual one-off; I imagine you should have a copy soon.

Safe travels! Many happy returns of the day to your godchild.

Thank you! I shall convey them.
