And I know it's you knocking around in there

In no particular order—

1. I have been Spontaneously Spotted! I feel like some sort of rare species.

2. Today is my father's birthday non-observed. Last night I made a hazelnut cake; today it gets whipped cream, strawberries, and that very dark chocolate icing that is basically cacao with a little butter to make it pliable. I believe we are taking him to Za for dinner. Mostly I got him books.

3. This is the best poem about the Odyssey I've seen in a long time.

4. heliopsis has coined an excellent word.

5. The trees are budding. It's not snowing yet.

What on earth year was that?

I won the Rhysling in 2002; one of my poems placed second for the Dwarf Stars in 2008.

Oh go on, we can't be that old.

My brain has toggled back to teenagers in storefront museums in Chicago. I blame that drama-bag Tirian. At least I'm still writing.

It's that or dead!

At least I'm still writing.

And I like that.
