Yet it is not Dionysos who by himself has devised the game like a cruel child

My poem "Tapping the Vine" appears to have placed second in the 2011 Dwarf Stars Award. Thanks to lesser_celery for the heads-up.

One of the rides at EPCOT Center which I have remembered most vividly for the last twenty-plus years (I was three-ish the first time my parents took me, eight the second and last time; I remember insisting I was tall enough for Space Mountain at Disney World and then being convinced we were going to smash into something in the dark and die) was the now-defunct Horizons, which I didn't realize was defunct until derspatchel told me. This afternoon I found the script and had sort of a simultaneous attack of nostalgia and Weltschmerz. I wanted that kelp-forest future.

I am running a fever. Today could have been a lot better.

Oh I like that poem.

Well deserved.

Cool. Hope you feel better.

I just got Amoxillan and Vicodin. I think that's what the rabbis meant when they said you should be happy on Pesach.

Yay! I'm very glad about the poem. (Not the fever)

Congratulations!

I'm sorry it's gone.

We went to Disney World once, when I was maybe two or three. I dimly remember a ride with large teacups, and a hotel room with my parents and sister. I don't remember wondering where my aunt and the dolphins were, so I take it I must have understood that there was more than one amusement park in the world, rather than all of them being the same place, because I think I remember before then going to a park she worked at.

I'm very sorry for your fever, and I hope you'll be feeling better soon.

Does fever + kelp future = poem?

(Congratulations + sympathies = feel better)

Bravo! (And feel better).

That's a fine poem. Well done.

Sorry about the fever - take care.

Congratulations on the award recognition! I hope to be reading more of your work soon. Hope the fever has come down ... do your fevers bring on dreams? I'm thinking kelp forests. :)
