But the fools only look—they cannot listen for laughing

My poem "The Hero's Journey" has been accepted by Not One of Us. It's the incredibly depressed one about Dido in the underworld. I write this in a stupidly good mood, which I do not expect to break any time in the next few hours.

Why, yes, internet, I would love an episode of Gunsmoke starring Hans Conried. "Shakespeare," 23 August 1952. A strangely touching one, too, considering Conried's comparative careers in radio and film.

I wasn't looking for stereoscopic views of the Gloucester granite industry, but I'm not going to complain about finding them.

It's spring outside. I can't tell if this means next week it's going to snow.

Blimey. I might just change my opinion on Westerns, based on this.

Well done on the sale!

I had heard very little Gunsmoke before this. I believe it was legendary.

Well done on the sale!

Thank you!

green_trilobite commented "William Conrad could sound so thin" which makes me wonder if perhaps the whole episode isn't about those who "had a great face for radio."

I was thinking only of the parallels to Conried, but you may be be right and it's more generally meta than I'd thought. (Partly because I don't know any of the other actors, I suspect.)
