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.

Congrats on your Rhysling nominations!

Congratulations, on all counts!

I still have the last issue of NOU in my purse. It's coming along with me tomorrow when I'll be places I have to wait--meaning time to read!

If only I wrote poetry that was worth a tinker's damn. Still, I am very pleased for you, as I happen to know the mag in question places you in the most exclusive good company.

And your godchild will be excited to see you and yank, yank, yank your hair. I suggest you practice your delivery of the key phrase, "Gentle with the kitty!"

... because anything with that much hair is a kitty.

:) *hugs* Safe journey.

1.

We'd rain as well yesterday. Big flakes of snow this morning, which didn't leave much trace and weren't as impressive as the globs you described. I'm sorry yours is ugly freezing rain, and I wish you safety from it.

Once again, betrayed by porn.

Should I ask?

2.

Good on yesterday's mail!

3.

Congratulations!

4.

Happy birthday to your godchild! Safe travelling, and I hope all goes well with the plane and the rest.
