I swear, as God is my witness, I thought turkeys could fly i have not been posting lately. been laying low & taking care of myself. finally got rid of the sinus/ear infection that has been dogging me for a month now. this has also led me to start cutting down on my smoking (from full flavor to ultra lights) & backing off on the coffee a bit. (down to two pots a day) thinking again about getting myself into better shape than i�m in now. can�t keep pretending that i�m in the same health i was 20 years ago. time to start taking care of myself a bit better than i have. ************** Rives did a wonderful feature at the hut on sunday. humor, depth, good interaction with the room & a well-chosen set made the evening very enjoyable. if you have not booked Rives yet, you should. the slam was smoking with a nice mix of poets & styles. very close scores & good audience reaction. all in all, it was a wonderful evening of poetry. i needed a night like that. *************** been swamped at work. busy moving equipment around & trying to get the new workshop set-up so i can renovate the conservation lab before the next exhibit starts. the trouble is, i work with very heavy equipment & it is kicking my ass to move it. makes the process move a bit slower than i�d like. oh well, at least it is moving forward. ************** Cinderella Still Waits there is something about this ad that weirds me out. i think it is the lots of hair and teeth part that does it. it sounds like it could be a personal ad from Tammy Fae Bakker. just strange, that�s all. *************** one of the odd aspects of my job� **************** feels strange to not be going to slammasters this weekend. i�m betting that it will feel even stranger when i�m not at nationals this summer. it will be the first nationals in 10 years that i have not gone to. hoping to take the time (& money) that i would spend at nationals & try doing something else. perhaps some weekend trips or a short tour. perhaps take some time off to work on the house or just to paint. have to see what the summer brings. as for this weekend, i can�t say i�m going to miss the 18 hour drive after being in meetings all day. ***************** time to get back to work. be well. |
